Subject: Education is the cornerstone of multiracial democracy! #TEACHIN

JOIN US RSVP NOW

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!

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!

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

Following the event, a comprehensive digital toolkit will be shared with attendees with resources for taking action and activating your community!

Thanks for all you do, see you next week!
