ESCUELAS FRESCAS
The climate crisis overheats schools with old, ineffective air conditioning. Students are suffering from heat exhaustion. This campaign will win the healthy, safe classrooms our kids deserve.
The Problem:
KIDS ARE SUFFOCATING IN SCHOOL
Temperatures in El Paso continue to increase every Summer.
Some days reaching 105°+ leading to growing cases of fatigue, heat stroke and death in extreme cases.
The Injustice:
POOR SCHOOLS SUFFER MORE
By researching the local area, Amanecer People’s Project has identified 20+ schools in EPISD using outdated swamp coolers located mainly in poor neighborhoods that have been historically ignored by our local government.
The affected schools are:
Canyon Hills Middle
Guillen Middle
Wiggs Middle
Bliss Elementary
Coldwell Elementary
Crocket Elementary
Douglass Elementary
Green Elementary
Guerrero Elementary
Hawkins Elementary
Hillside Elementary
Kohlberg Elementary
Lamar Elementary
Newman Elementary
Nixon Elementary
Park Elementary
Putnam Elementary
Rusk Elementary
Stanton Elementary
Travis Elementary
Telles Academy
Zavala Elementary
The Plan:
THE “ESCUELAS FRESCAS” CAMPAIGN
Amanecer People’s Project is currently running the Escuelas Frescas campaign with demands that have been created and voted on by parents and teachers of the district to guarantee that students are provided with the schools that they deserve.
As the new school year starts again we will be launching smaller policy campaigns that systemically address the problems teachers and students are facing.
If you are a student, teacher, or parent and want to be a part of this work with us please contact us.
In order to win the schools that our children deserve, we need to organize as a community to have our demands met. As individuals, EPISD- and any other body with decision-making power- can easily ignore us, but if we organize we become a force that can not be ignored.
The only way to build the power we need to create an El Paso that works for us and our children is if we organize for it.
