Dear Friend, 

Educators, parents, and students interested in what is happening in our schools and who want to know how you can get involved are invited to join Race Forward’s new H.E.A.L. Together initiative’s launch event, Organizing for Strong Schools and a Multiracial Democracy, March 30, 2022 at 7:00 pm EST!

Join the President of Race Forward and Publisher of Colorlines Glenn Harris, National Education Association President Becky Pringle, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Emmy award winning social justice storyteller Sarah Eagle Heart, the #HEALTogether team and our partners for a discussion on the importance of organizing in this moment.

HEAL Together (Honest Education Action & Leadership) is building a movement of students, educators, and parents in school districts across the United States who believe that an honest, accurate and fully funded public education is the foundation for a just, pluralistic, multiracial democracy. 

Initially borne from the politically motivated attacks on Critical Race Theory (CRT), H.E.A.L. Together provides tools for people to organize against those who are bringing the culture wars to our schools by banning books, censoring educators that honestly teach about race, gender, sexual orientation, and politicizing the pandemic. 

Race Forward is proud to launch the H.E.A.L. Together initiative with partners: NYU Metro Center, Schott Foundation for Public Education, Alliance for Quality Education, Red Wine & Blue Education Fund, Women's March, Student Voice, MomsRising/MamasConPoder, Parents Together Action, Local Progress, and UnKoch My Campus.

Come learn how all of us have a stake in this fight and how we can #HEALTogether!

In Solidarity,

The Race Forward H.E.A.L. Together Team
