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
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.
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.
In solidarity,
Women’s March
