Eye On Equity
Welcome to Eye on Equity, a resource designed, populated, and inspired by the passionate commitment of OEA members to center equity and transform our practice, learning environments, union, and communities. It will serve as a landing pad for resources and reflection that center equity and unpack all beliefs, behaviors, narratives, and systems that perpetuate marginalization, oppression, and supremacy. We seek to embrace the true history and pluralism that has always been in front of us and to nurture and provide a space that has a powerful impact on your work and life.
