Parents speak out for all Philly school students A taste of India in West Philly

A group of Philadelphia school parents from across the city have come together to make a powerful movement supporting all students in the district. Lift Every Voice first fought to get nurses in every school, and most recently, they achieved a major win when the district created a new wellness policy ensuring that teachers won’t withhold things like bathroom breaks and recess as punishment. Racquel Williams talks with two parent members about how they made their case and won, and how they plan to continue speaking up for students. Then, Shara Dae Howard heads to West Philly to visit a new cafe run by two women, one from India and the other from Philly. They combine a commitment to their community with curated Indian tea at Chai Nashta Cafe .
