Backbone teamed up with the Equity in Education Coalition, Fuse and thousands of other friends to demand full funding of education and push back against Education Secretary Betsy DeVos's attempts to privatize public education.
Special thanks to Sharonne Navas and Risa Nagel who spearheaded the organizing of the rally. Thanks to Backbone Builder's Guild members Rod, Jeff, Wynne, Art, Don and the volunteers who show up to Backbone's Art Builds like Alix and Jenn, and Bob and Jesse of Rise Up! Productions / NW Stage. Keep Public Education Public! Close the opportunity gap!
From EEC (eec-wa.org) -
DeVos is a notorious proponent of privatizing education, eliminating the regulatory oversight of private schools funded by public dollars, and eroding America’s public education. So far in her time as Secretary, DeVos has made it a priority to disempower the Office of Civil Rights, which handles discrimination charges and protects the most marginalized of students. She has repealed protections for students repaying loans to fund their higher education. And at every chance DeVos has advocated for privatizing public education, a controversial and at many times unsuccessful mission of hers, that will serve to the detriment of students everywhere.
Right now in Washington, we are on the brink of crafting a plan that will fully fund K-12 education for each and every child. This is a unique opportunity for achieving an equitable and thriving public education system – Secretary DeVos, who has only promoted privitization and its accompanying prejudices, is the last person who should be influencing our state’s education policy right now.
On Friday October 13th communities stand united in their desire for a just and robust public education system protest Secretary DeVos’ harmful policies!

LOS ANGELES — Mayor Eric Garcetti today, alongside Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, launched the Los Angeles Fire Department’s first-ever Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Bureau (DEI) focused on ensuring a safe, diverse, and inclusive workplace for all.
Mayor Garcetti speaking at a lectern with a fire engine and several fire chiefs behind him.
“We believe in, and are committed to, justice in Los Angeles — and we focus an equity lens on every aspect of our work,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. “The Bureau of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion will help to ensure that our progress is permanent and we’re always moving forward with a city government and institutions that reflect and value our diversity.”
The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Bureau will focus on building and fostering a Department committed to engaging the voices and respecting the humanity of all its members, reflected in how it handles recruitment and hiring, workplace conduct, retention, and promotion. The DEI Bureau will be up and running and fully staffed by January 2023. It will be led by Deputy Chief Stephen Gutierrez, the Department’s first Chief Equity Officer.
In January 2022, Mayor Garcetti appointed Chief Crowley, the first woman to lead the City’s Fire Department. This year, of the more than 6,500 applicants to LAFD, 70% were people of color and nearly 8% of candidates were female, which is double the current percentage of female firefighters within the Department. The Los Angeles Fire Department Girls Camp, which introduces young women between the ages of 14 and18 to career opportunities in the Department, recently resumed operations after a pause during COVID.
"The LAFD is fully committed to creating positive change," said Fire Chief Kristin Crowley. "With the new DEI Bureau, the Department will develop and drive forward key diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies and initiatives to enhance the LAFD’s work environment and performance. We will maximize our efforts to build and promote a culture where our diversity is truly valued and our work environment is safe and supportive for all.”
Mayor Garcetti has made equity and inclusion a central focus of his agenda since his earliest days at City Hall — from achieving gender parity on the city’s boards and commissions to signing an executive directive to study and advance racial justice and inclusion in every City department and launching L.A. REPAIR (Reforms for Equity and Public Acknowledgment of Institutional Racism), the City’s first and California’s largest-ever participatory budgeting program.
