Dear Friend,

Education is the cornerstone of multiracial democracy and schools are
where we learn to engage in society in meaningful ways. Still, parents,
students, and educators across the country are too often experiencing a
climate where far-right attacks have made our schools playgrounds for
partisan politics and racial division - through outrageous book bans,
anti-critical race theory legislation, attacks on LGBTQIA students and
educators, bans on comprehensive sex education, and ignoring the calls for
student mental health support. Not. Okay.

Parents and caregivers like you are pushing back!

[ [link removed] ]Join parents from across the country on Tuesday, October 25th, 2022
(4:30pm PST, 7:30pm EST, 6:30pm CST) for a virtual teach-in on truth over
fear and to learn ways to advocate for safe, honest, and inclusive
education as the foundation of a just democracy. 

Saving Our Schools: Activating Parents in an Age of CRT-Backlash Teach-In
will feature keynotes from Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw and author Ibram
X. Kendi, stories from parents, and ways to take action!

Topics we will cover during the teach-in include: 

* Pushing Back Against Book Bans & the Attacks on Critical Race Theory
(CRT) and Getting To Honest and Inclusive Curriculum.
* Pushing Back on Harmful Attacks on LGBTQIA students and Comprehensive
Sex Education
* Mobilizing for School Health and Safety - Counseling not
Criminalization!
* Running for School Board!

[ [link removed] ]RSVP for this virtual event and join parents and caregivers across the
country as we push back on these attacks and save our schools!
