NEW 2022-2023 Diversify Our Narrative Fundraiser!
Please donate what you can to our collaborative fundraiser with the school district! The money raised will go towards purchasing books that fit our DON criteria. We raised almost $10,000 last school year, and are hopeful we can exceed that goal by June 30, 2023.
Our Story
Our Story
Diversify Our Narrative is a nationwide, student-led initiative dedicated to implementing anti-racist teaching practices in schools. The group was formed in June of 2020 in response to the many instances of anti-Black hate and systemic racism that have been occurring for over 400 years in this country. As a group, we recognize the influence schools have in fostering a safe, supportive, and inclusive community. We believe creating this kind of environment should be AUSD’s number one priority. One important step towards this goal is to incorporate texts that are diverse and representative into English classes from Kindergarten through 12th grade. While this won’t entirely resolve the issue of racism in Albany, we’re confident that it will lead to positive change that is long overdue.

On top of our work in English classes, we are also passionate about addressing issues of underrepresentation in all aspects of education. Our small group of Albany High School students is extremely dedicated to our work and community. We hope you will support us in our efforts to make Albany a better place.
