** Wholestory Education (WE) Campaign
------------------------------------------------------------

Across the country, our ability to learn history truthfully and have honest discussions about diversity, racism, and sexism are under attack. Any opposition directly impedes our ability to tell the whole histories of Asian American, Black American, Indigenous, and Latino/Latinx American communities in schools which is necessary to build a more inclusive future for all. We are working to change that.
We believe that it is only through honest, truthful, and inclusive teaching of our history that we can learn America’s full story.
Through the Wholestory Education (WE) Campaign, Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC is committed to providing free resources and events for individuals and organizations to begin, supplement, or further advocacy in their communities for more comprehensive, honest, and empowering education.
Join us by attending our community convening and using our resources below to learn more, speak out, and take action.
