While there are many ways we can promote equity and justice, it is crucial that my
energies sow seeds of harvest into the Einstein Learning Community in New Orleans
East. Moreover, I aspire to do so through a lens of equity that is both objective and
aspirational. On behalf of our children, I need your support.
Please sign the petition to transform or reimagine the dilapidated Six Flags in New
to contribute to our Resilience Fund and sponsor our upcoming Equity Walk on
Thursday, June 18, 2020, starting at 10:30 am. You can find other ways to support our
young people
by simply making a Cash App donation of any amount to $GiveEinstein.
Lastly, the questions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are as relevant in the year 2020 as
they were in the 60’s: “Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the
question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the
question, is it right?” He would conclude that "And there comes a time when one must
take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it
is right.” America is still wrestling with the question of right versus wrong as it relates to
equity and justice. For the citizens of New Orleans, we must fight together and do what is
right:
Sign the petition and sow into our youth in New Orleans East.
With love, togetherness, and urgency,
Michael McKenzie,
CEO, Einstein Schools
