WHO WE ARE

Called to action by the recent rhetoric surrounding immigrant children in the United States, the administrators of this website created the Safe Space Schools site as a way to connect educators with the information needed to protect their students in the classroom. The website is the product of the team's semester-long project focused on the relationship between education and citizenship, and how anti-immigrant rhetoric affects institutions of learning. Our scope is focused on New York City, but our information is applicable to all educators interested in investing in the safety of their students.

We are also a part of the "Migration, Refugees, and the Politics of Sanctuary" course at New York University! Learn more about the course here!
