Chasing Justice - Civil Rights DOGED

In this episode of the Brave in the Bay podcast, host Carla Pursnani and Senior Civil Rights attorney Jessica Plitt talk about the critical role of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in education, particularly for students with disabilities. They highlight the impact of recent cuts to the OCR, which have severely limited its ability to address discrimination and provide necessary oversight. Jessica shares her experiences and the ramifications of the OCR cuts. Carla emphasizes the importance of advocacy, community support, and proactive measures that families and educators can take to ensure that all students receive the education and accommodations they need.
