The Children’s Defense Fund<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Born in Freedom Summer in Mississippi in 1964 and the Civil Rights Movement, CDF Freedom Schools invite young people, K-12, into an educational immersion experience. Young people are equipped as change agents, with gifts and learning styles our communities need now.The focus of our CDF Nashville team is nonviolent direct action organizing that prioritizes the voices and leadership of those hardest hit by the cradle to prison pipeline while working on dismantling this pipeline and redressing failures of public school systems, and countering the impact of zero tolerance policies and practices that result in targeting and criminalizing black and brown bodies, especially those in impoverished communities.TAPS will partner with CDF Freedom School Servant Leader Interns who are college students trained by the Children\u2019s Defense Fund, who come from the same communities as the students.<\/p>\n
