FIA4Justice endorses school board candidates who demonstrate a clear, actionable commitment to educational equity for Black, Brown, and underserved students in Oakland. We don't endorse based on party affiliation, personal relationships, or institutional support. We endorse based on one thing: what will you do for students?
Our endorsement process includes a candidate questionnaire, a public forum, and a review by our endorsement committee. We publish our endorsements, our reasoning, and our questions — because voters deserve transparency.
