The Maryland Initiative for Literacy & Equity (MILE)

MILE’s annual advocacy event focusing on teacher education for literacy

MILE Advocates

How It Started

In 2024, MILE began its annual advocacy event with Advocacy Day, a partnership with the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy, Morgan State University's School of Education and Urban Studies, and the Karabelle Pizzigati Initiative. Each year, Students and faculty visit the Maryland State House to advocate for relevant policy.

In 2026, MILE spearheaded its own advocacy celebration, MILE Advocates, to continue these efforts.
