SYLA Yearbook Sponsorship
This summer, CFJ will offer the seventh session of
our annual Summer Youth Leadership Academy (SYLA). The Academy empowers young
leaders who are committed to social justice by helping them develop
skills such as public speaking, media advocacy, community outreach,
action research, fundraising and event planning.
To help SYLA be as successful as possible, we need your help! CFJ will
publish our second annual Summer Youth Leadership Academy Yearbook. The
Yearbook will help raise funds to support SYLA and our other important
racial justice work. We hope you will consider showing your support
for CFJ and our youth leaders by purchasing an ad in our book. Please CLICK HERE to purchase an ad. The deadline to purchase is August 22, 2008. One-liners can be purchased for as little as $25!

The Campaign for Quality Education Rocks the State Capitol!
Students, parents and teachers from across California braved 100 degree
weather to make their voices heard in the state capitol on May 15. Over
two thousand students and parents converged on Sacramento to call for
better schools and to challenge the governor’s proposed cuts to school
funding. Californians for Justice members joined together with our allies in the Campaign for Quality Education to bring the concerns of students and parents directly to the legislators who represent us.
See highlights from event on the CQE web site.

Find out what we stand for, what we do, and who we are. 
students attend public schools in the state. An entire generation of young people are suffering from inadequate education and racist policies in schools.
