Last night, NCSD sponsored a visit from NY Appleseed's Matt Gonzales at the Learn Together, Live Together monthly meeting (an effort to bring together DC-based school integration supporters). Matt provided an overview of his advocacy with NY Appleseed, nycASID, and IntegrateNYC. If you'd like to get involved in school integration efforts focused on DC and surrounding areas, contact LTLT.
