| Purpose | |
| The purposes of this organization are to challenge education systems that have been intentionally designed to marginalize and minoritize students, stifle creativity and innovation, and perpetuate social and economic inequities. Our aim is to dismantle structural and institutional practices that perpetuate continued unequal access and outcomes. Our endeavors consistently revolve around cultivating a critical imagination that fosters dialogue and engagement for a better tomorrow. We prioritize amplifying the voices and experiences of the community and those most impacted, while resolutely rejecting hierarchical endeavors and mere performativity. At The DLP, we see education as a way to develop endless opportunities and a space to foster dialogue. Education systems need to be redesigned and imagined, going beyond mere reform. Therefore, we aim to utilize an interdisciplinary approach to equity and liberatory education by respecting, building with, and sustaining community efforts and voices. We never believe that we represent communities better than they can themselves, but rather, it is our role to work collaboratively with people and communities. We do this through our student services and programming, educator collaboration, and community-engaged research practices. |
