NEWARK, N.J., June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SEEDS – Access Changes Everything ensured education access for young people from low-income backgrounds when Affirmative Action was the law of the land. We vow to fervently and passionately continue that work despite the Supreme Court's decision to revoke Affirmative Action. The challenges have increased, the barriers have grown, and the safety nets have disappeared, but SEEDS is still here.

We believe that a zip code should not determine a child's educational trajectory. Today, we resolve that neither will the Supreme Court's decision.

We remain steadfast in the commitment to our mission. We thank the countless partner institutions around the country who have already made clear their commitment to ensuring education access and equity.

The SEEDS mission has never been more important. We welcome all who want to walk with us to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion for young people from underrepresented backgrounds.
