Generation Common Good believes protecting education means defending academic freedom, research integrity, and students’ civil rights.
 
That’s why we submitted a public comment opposing the Department of Education’s proposed changes to the college accreditation process, and we’re asking you to join us.
 
The new rule would change how accrediting agencies are approved and what standards they must follow. In practice, it could reinforce attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion; weaken protections for trans students, students of color, and other underrepresented communities; and open the door to political interference in teaching and research.
 
The Department of Education is accepting public comments through midnight tonight, September 21.

📣 Calling Student Organizers! 📣 

We are so excited to announce our upcoming fellowship for student organizers! Public education is under attack by authoritarians and pro-corporate billionaires' interests. We know we need a campus-based resistance willing to advance solutions to defend and reimagine the campus.

Our student fellows receive in-depth training from organizers with decades of experience with different issue areas and audiences. They will work with our GCG network to advance pro-democracy solutions for their campus, uplift public education, and engage in community-building. 

Deadline to apply is August 30th! Click the link in our bio to learn more and apply. by @generationcommongood

Our team pulled off our first youth pride event in partnership with the DC Mayor’s Office of LGTBQ Affairs and Capital Pride. We are so proud of what we accomplished — and it should be said that the femmes and thems are often the frontline of holding community together. by @generationcommongood

Last week, members of our community brought to our attention that Lingua Franca and its partner organization, Chorus, are selling sweaters featuring the phrase “Parenting is Political.”

We want to be clear: Parenting is Political is not affiliated with Lingua Franca or Chorus in any way. We were never contacted about this collaboration and did not authorize the use of the Parenting is Political name or brand in connection with these products. Parenting is Political is a 501(c)(3) fiscally sponsored project of Generation Common Good. We do not currently, nor have we ever, been affiliated with Chorus or its 501(c)(4) activities.

Over years of creating original podcasts, educational resources, curricula, campaigns, research, events, and cultural organizing, we have built Parenting is Political into a distinctive public identity. For thousands of parents, caregivers, educators, and organizers, the name represents a trusted source of political education, community, and movement-building rooted in the belief that every family deserves safety, dignity, and belonging. It reflects years of collective work led by and for working-class families committed to building a more just future.

While we do not claim ownership over the idea that parenting is political, we do believe in protecting the integrity of the work our community has built under that name. When the Parenting is Political name is used on commercial merchandise without our knowledge or involvement, it creates confusion about whether those products are connected to or endorsed by our organization. It also risks obscuring the history, relationships, and community labor that have given this work its meaning.

We are actively working with our legal team to address this matter and protect the integrity of the Parenting is Political brand. In the meantime, we wanted our community to hear directly from us and know that we are aware of the situation.

Thank you to everyone who reached out to let us know. We remain committed to the work that has always defined Parenting is Political: building community, shifting culture, and organizing for a world where every family can live with safety, dignity, and belonging. by @generationcommongood
