The Education Justice Research and Organizing Collaborative (EJ-ROC) is a unit at the NYU Metro Center that provides critical data, research, policy and strategic support to the education justice movement. EJ-ROC provides critical research, data, policy, training and strategic campaign support to the education justice movement.
