Congratulations to Our Ed Warrior and Early Ed Warrior Graduates!

Hi Ashley,

Today marks a significant milestone for our AQE community as we celebrate the Ed Warrior and Early Ed Warrior graduation ceremonies! We applaud the dedication of our graduates who have invested months of hard work.

Shoshana Hershkowitz - Campaign Manager at Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy & Empire State Campaign for Child Care

Tanesha Grant - alumni of AQE's first Ed Warrior cohort & Executive Director of Parents Supporting Parents New York

Senator Jabari Brisport - AQE child care champion representing New York State's 25th Senate District

In its sixth cohort, the Ed Warriors program has empowered NYC parents to advocate for education justice at both the city and state levels, focusing on community organizing, facilitation, social media advocacy, public speaking, and navigating the political landscape impacting our public schools. Similarly, the Early Ed Warriors program, graduating its inaugural cohort today, has equipped parents and child care providers across the state to champion early care and learning.

We are incredibly proud of our graduates, whose achievements are pivotal in expanding leadership among parents, educators, and child care providers, driving a vision of a more just and equitable education system. Stay tuned for applications for the seventh cohort of Ed Warriors and the second cohort of Early Ed Warriors. Congratulations once again to all of our graduates! Your dedication and passion serve as an inspiration to us all!
