Tenemos el Animo Pero No Justicia!
On March 26, Animo Justice Charter High School students and parents protested the closing of Animo Justice and marched to Green Dot Headquarters. Green Dot CEO Marco Petruzzi met with students and parents, who walked out after listening to Green Dot’s explanation of school closures. Animo will be the first Green Dot school to close. The non-profit organization runs 19 schools in the Los Angeles area.

Watching my students organize and fight for what they DESERVE has been the proudest moment of my professional career. In the future, they will win their battles. I am honored to call myself their teacher.
