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.

Parents from across the country joined us and partner organizations on Tuesday, October 25, 2022 (7:30 pm ET/6:30 pm CT/4:30 pm PT) for a 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. This event featured keynotes from Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw and Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, parent stories, and ways to take action!
