I've been following a local non profit that works in the Latino community. [View all]

It looks like it's an interfaith community but one that draws on everyone it can get its hands on. They take on all kinds of projects I support including divestment from the big banks. They led the effort here locally, and pulled millions of dollars out of Wells Fargo by mounting a huge campaign in the churches.

Well, last week I got an email about a community meeting to help out a middle school. Buried in all the information was the fact that only 3 in 10 Latino kids are graduating from middle school in this district. And they are 51% of the student population. It made me ill.

I don't know what to do except for once, not to barge in with my elbows out. This morning I'm poking around to get some info on the district. Maybe it has a tutoring program I can help with while I get to know who the opinion leaders are and what their plan is.
