“Of all the civil rights for which the world has struggled and fought these last 5,000 years, the right to learn is undoubtedly the most fundamental.”
-W.E.B. DuBois
The Right to Learn Coalition (R2L) is a nonpartisan entity which seeks to protect children’s right to learn in the United States. Coalition members are dedicated to ensuring access to safe, inclusive, and high-quality public education that prepares students to succeed and thrive. We do so by supporting exchange of knowledge among educators and advocates and by promoting solutions that inspire collective action at local, state, and national levels.
We welcome those individuals and groups committed to the pursuit of human and civil rights and advocating for historically marginalized communities and equitable education in the United States. To learn more and to become a partner, please send an email to R2L@eihr.org.
