Dear John ,
We are in a pivotal moment in our fight for a just, multi-racial
democracy. We are seeing an attack on the very idea of free public
education itself , manifesting in the forms of racist book bans, and
controlled curriculums that root out Black history and African American
studies. Access to public education is a foundational element of our
nation and we must protect it.
to do that, we need your help
[link removed]
Extremists and authoritarians have always tried to restrict educational
freedom, to stop our country from moving towards an inclusive and
equitable society, one where everyone is valued and has the chance to
prosper. The attacks on public education today are a continuation of the
backlash against the Civil Rights Movement, and our job is to see that
its gains are not undone.

In schools across the country, students learn concepts and principles
that underpin our democracy, because ensuring a well-informed society is
an essential part of our public education system. As Dr. Ford says in
the above video "What people learn will ultimately set up their frame
for understanding both history and the nation."
A true understanding of our history sets up the next generation to
challenge the living legacies of systemic racism and oppression. HEAL
Together was formed to support those who believe in this commitment to
our nation's youth. We're providing tools and resources for people to
advocate for the honest, accurate and fully funded public schools our
children deserve—schools that reflect the best of who we are and who we
can be. It's more than just a movement, and your participation is
paramount.
