New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE) is a group of current and former public school educators and their allies committed to fighting for social justice in our school system and society at large, by organizing and mobilizing teachers, developing curriculum, and working with community, parent, and student organizations. We are educators who believe that education is an integral part of social change and that we must work both inside and outside the classroom because the struggle for justice does not end when the school bell rings. The conference is an opportunity for us to come together to "Pa'Lante: Weaving Past, Present and Future"
This year’s theme, Beyond the Rainbow: Centering Marginalized Voices in the LGBTQI+ Community, invites us to look past surface-level representation and visibility to engage in deeper, more meaningful dialogue about equity, inclusion, and intersectionality within our community. While the rainbow flag symbolizes unity and pride, it also challenges us to recognize that not all experiences within the LGBTQI+ spectrum are equally seen or valued. Beyond the Rainbow encourages participants to explore the diverse identities and lived experiences that shape our collective story, including those of transgender and nonbinary individuals, queer people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, and others whose voices are often pushed to the margins. Through workshops, panels, and storytelling, we aim to amplify these perspectives, spark honest conversations, and strengthen solidarity across differences. Why This Theme: To challenge the ongoing erasure of communities, particularly transgender individuals, queer people of color, and other marginalized groups, whose identities and rights are increasingly under attack in today’s political landscape. To move beyond symbolic representation and ensure that inclusion is grounded in equity, access, and authentic recognition of the full spectrum of LGBTQI+ experiences. To foster unity through intersectionality, uplifting diverse voices and perspectives as the foundation for collective empowerment and progress. Earned fieldwork hours: 8
