[1]Women's March
This is serious,
John.
In the past year, school boards and state legislatures across our country
have been targeted with relentless attacks on important anti-racist
education and truth-telling in schools.
Now, some states are even debating banning books by celebrated Black
authors, like Nobel laureate Toni Morrison.^1
[ [link removed] ]Headline about banning anti-racist education in schools.
These attacks are designed by right-wing strategists, and carried out on
the ground predominantly by white parents. By flooding public meetings,
elected officials’ email inboxes, and the news media with a frenzy of fear
for their children, the right wing has created a national narrative that
parents — especially white parents — don’t want their children to learn
about racism.
But together, we have the power to amplify another narrative. And we're
calling on Women's Marchers to lend our voices to this important fight.
[ [link removed] ]Join us for a virtual training session on Wednesday, November 10 at
8:00 p.m. ET on how we'll combat the far right’s attacks on anti-racist
education in our schools. We'll share how to write a compelling op-ed to
influence local decision-makers and the public narrative in your
community.

This training is aimed at parents and caregivers who want to contest the
right-wing narrative by voicing why they want their children to learn the
truth about racism and inequality. The training session is organized and
led by Narrative Initiative, Showing Up for Racial Justice, the Women’s
March, 22nd Century Initiative and NYU Metro Center.
Our children deserve to know the truth about our history — so it's on all
of us to take action.
[ [link removed] ]Click here to RSVP for our virtual training session, Children Deserve
the Truth, on Wednesday, November 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET to learn how to craft
compelling, effective op-eds for your community. We're hoping to get as
many Women's Marchers as possible to join this important conversation.
In solidarity,
Women’s March
