Our Mission:
CARE DC aims to harvest a just future for our youth from the classroom to the home to the block. Our movement elevates the power of our neighborhoods to increase the performance of our community’s schools. We work to bring justice to marginalized families, advance community educators, and liberate students.
How We Achieve:
CARE DC is reigniting a model where communities—not systems—lead school change. Just as the Civil Rights era gave rise to community-rooted change, CARE DC grows power through local chapters and programs that lead transformation where they live. Our chapters—CARE Anacostia and CARE Brookland—embody this vision, organizing educators, families, and neighbors to reimagine what justice looks like in their homes, schools and communities.
We support our partners through educator development, family capacity building and food!

This is food for 15 Savoy families, we host events like these to build community power.
Our Partner Schools
We partner with traditional schools through our Brookland and Anacostia communities to provide school leaders with resources and support. Our programs also give educators access to a network of strong, passionate colleagues.
See our 10 partner schools above.
Our Chapters:
The CARE DC movement was built with the future in mind. The issues of systemic racism in our Black and Brown communities are not monolithic. Either through extreme oppression and neglect, gentrification and push out, our voices are being silened. Our unique model enables individual neighborhoods to create chapters to further their education while remaining connected to larger District efforts. Our first two chapters are in Anacostia and Brookland. In the next two years, we plan to charter more.
Our programs and strategies are shared across each chapter, yet each group operates independently. This structure ensures that communities can tailor their efforts specifically for their community, while still collectively fighting for liberation.
Our Vision
Together with our partners, we envision a future where every school vessel in Washington, DC, is successful by promoting justice and neighborhood empowerment.
