Equity has to be fought for by all.

FLI believes that we must consider the way that our systems prevent, often unintentionally, schools from being truly inclusive and equitable spaces.  We need more leaders and educators of color; we need structures in place to provide real support, and we must be willing to do things differently.  FLI is here to help make these changes.  Reach out to us today.

We can do this!
