Out d'Coup LIVE | Organizers Tamara Anderson and Dana Carter from Philly-based Racial Justice Organizing Committee

<p>On tonight’s show, I’m joined by two organizers from the <a href='https://sites.google.com/view/racialjusticeorganizing/home?authuser=0'>Racial Justice Organizing Committee</a> in Philadelphia: Tamara Anderson and Dana Carter. <a href='https://www.tamara-anderson.com/'>Tamara Anderson</a> is an advocate for children and teens, a professional artist, singer, director, editor, freelance writer, and blogger with over 20 years of experience as an educator.  Click on the link in the show notes for her long list of credits...I know I saw her on The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Just sayin.’ She is one of the founding steering committee members of the <a href='https://www.facebook.com/The-National-Black-Lives-Matter-Week-of-Action-in-Our-Schools-192373061312325/'>National Black Lives Matter Week of Action at Schools</a>.</p> <p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/dana.carter.31'>Dana Carter</a> is a Racial and Social Justice Advocate for urban learners and a PA Level II Elementary Education K-6 certified teacher. In addition to organizing with the Racial Justice Organizing Committee, Dana is an Education Policy Advisor with the <a href='https://www.melanatededucatorscollective.com/'>Melanated Educators Collective</a>. She’s been involved with Philly education as a K-12 teacher, an adjunct faculty member, and as an educational activist since the turn of the 21st century...I love to be able to say that. </p> <p>I think it’s worthwhile to read the Mission Statement of the Racial Justice Organizing Committee and their 10 demands for Radial Education Transformation to help set the tone for tonight’s conversation. </p> <p>Mission: The Racial Justice Organizing Committee exists as a space for educators and allies to engage in collective learning and action for racial justice to make our schools and as a result the city, places that allow for Black and brown students, educators, and families to thrive.</p> <p>Check out the <a href='https://sites.google.com/view/racialjusticeorganizing/demands-for-radical-education-transfo
