Cristo Rey New York sent a record-breaking 18-student delegation to Washington D.C. to take part in the annual Ignatian Family Family Teach-In for Justice. 

The Teach-In is a 3 day social justice conference that's one of the largest gatherings of Catholic Jesuit schools in the country. It's like social justice comic-con but it's also the chance to make a difference with real advocacy. 

Amidst thousands of attendees, our little East Harlem school stood out for not just the size of our group but our students' passion, empathy, and engagement. Students heard keynote addresses, connected with Fordham University students, explored DC's National Mall, and had a crossover event with the other Cristo Rey schools that attended.
