Long Island Strong Schools Alliance (LISSA) is a nonprofit organization founded in June, 2021 in response to the dangerous rhetoric and behavior by extremist groups across Long Island. Our mission is to support policies that strengthen education in our public schools, with a focus on critical thinking skills, civic engagement, diversity, equity, and inclusion. LISSA will provide resources, organizational help, and information to parents, teachers, students, and community members. LISSA may lobby and educate school boards and administrators regarding school policies, and may endorse candidates for public office, including Board of Education candidates.
