Our School Psychology community will stand up and fight attacks against Black people, people of color, and those that are from underserved, underprivileged communities.  We cannot tolerate continued blatant racism, oppression, and violence against those of color.  Across the country, the call is loud to end supremacy culture, systemic racism, anti-Black racism, and police brutality.  While it is difficult to understand and witness such horrific actions, change needs to take place immediately!

School psychology is a small field, but we are strong and have committed voices.  We are in a collegial community that is united to hearing, understanding, and changing cultural and institutional barriers.  The CSUEB School Psychology Program has joined with APA Division 16 School Psychology, Trainers of School Psychologists, Council of Directors of School Psychology Programs, Society for the Study of School Psychology, the American Board of School Psychology and the National Association of School Psychologists to reaffirm our commitment to be anti-racist agents of change.  Our Program is committed to help shape and give tools to future school psychologists to be innovative leaders for social equality and justice.  Our mission is to teach and empower voices for change.

School Psychologists have an ethical responsibility to engage in social justice.  We need to speak up and stand up! Our professional community hears the pain, understands injustices, asserts our voices, and take action for social equality.  The CSUEB School Psychology Program commits to the School Psychology Unified Anti-Racism Statement and Call to Action.  

It is important for school psychologists and other educators to understand the historical and contemporary conditions that have resulted in many of these violent acts, as well as others’ reactions (including violence) to these events. NASP seeks to help schools and families engage in constructive dialogue about privilege, prejudice, power, and the ways that all of us can work together to shift the conversation from hate and violence toward understanding and respect to ultimately bring about positive change and unity to our communities.
