Yinzercation is a collective of volunteer parents, students, teachers, and community members in Southwest Pennsylvania allied for great public schools for all children. We are a part of the grassroots education justice movement committed to students, equity, and the preservation of public education as a civil right and a public good. With over 3,500 followers on our blog and social media, we have a strong on-line presence while also hosting frequent social actions and events ranging from rallies and demonstrations to lectures, town halls, film showings, and meetings with decision makers.
