Tomorrow Wednesday, May 17th – the 69th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision – H.E.A.L. (Honest Education Action and Leadership) Together and partners will host “Our Freedom To Learn." The event will feature powerhouse national leaders who will provide inspiration and next steps we need during this fight in this critical moment in our democracy. 

This online event will also launch Organizing & Narrative Toolkit 2.0 a compilation of resources to support leaders fighting to advance equity in their schools. The toolkit features insights from national and local organizers, as well as communications experts. Their goals are to support the continued growth of this movement and to defend our communities’ public schools. The toolkit is intended to lay the groundwork for public education to serve as the foundation of a just, multiracial democracy.

As the manufactured panic around critical race theory and attacks against LGBTQ+ audiences in public schools continue to intensify, school board members, educators, and students continue to organize against the far-right’s efforts to dismantle public education and divide our communities. Our work is grounded in the belief that honest education, diversity, and community are our greatest strengths.

In Solidarity, 

The H.E.A.L Team
