The Struggle for Police-Free Schools and an Equitable, Safe Re-Opening
Online Teach-in
RSVPThursday, July 9, 6:00 PM EDT / 10:00 PM GMT
Join us for a conversation with education activists about the current struggles in public education for safe and equitable schools for all.
A conversation with some of most dynamic teacher union leaders, community and student organizers in the country, will invite dialogue on pressing issues impacting public education in this unprecedented moment.
They will discuss the importance of a burgeoning Black Lives Matter movement to defund police and the need to replace them with counselors, social workers, nurses and restorative practices in our schools. Intimately connected to this question is how we can ensure that our students and communities are provided with the schools they deserve if and when they reopen in the Fall.
