About Morgan
Morgan Evers is a NYC teacher, community organizer and disability rights advocate running to be the next Assemblymember in New York’s 81st district.
She has been teaching elementary school students for nearly 20 years. Morgan credits her commitment for teaching to her deep passion for educating children, creating a sense of belonging in a community and collaboratively resolving problems.
This mindset carried over into her work as a community organizer, listening to the needs of her neighbors and helping lead them toward solutions. As a visually impaired person who developed a degenerative retinal disease in her 30s, she advocates for members of the disability community. She is dedicated to raising awareness about the needs of the disabled population and advocates for critical resources with public transportation, early education and social services.
Morgan served on PS24's Parent Teacher Association--three years as an executive board member and one year as president. She is also a member of the Hudson Manor Terrace Co-Op Board.
As a progressive Democrat, Morgan has been politically active in local Bronx democratic organizations. She currently serves as an executive committee member of the Unity Democratic Club, which she helped found with a breakaway group of progressives from the Benjamin Franklin Democratic Club in 2022. She was the New York State Democratic Committee member for the 81st Assembly District for the 2022 to 2024 term, during which she co-signed resolutions to fight extremism and antisemitism, advocated to build more affordable housing, create inclusive public school curriculum and advance initiatives for climate justice. She successfully organized with a group of Democrats to add these issues to the platform of the New York State Democratic Party.
She is a congregant of Riverdale Temple and a member of the synagogue's education committee and the Women of Reform Judaism.
For the last 13 years, Morgan has lived with her husband, also a teacher, in the Northwest Bronx where they’re raising their 10- and 13-year-old sons, who attend NYC public schools.
