Dear Friend,

On October 25th, 2022, parents across the country joined MomsRising and partners 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. 

The event featured keynotes from Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw and Ibram X. Kendi, parent stories, and ways to take action! Click to watch!

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 experiencing a climate where far-right attacks have made our schools playgrounds for partisan politics and racial division - through 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.

Topics covered in 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!

In addition to the video, we created a comprehensive digital toolkit with resources for taking action and activating your community!

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

Thanks for all you do to protect democracy and truth!
