Throughout history, young people led or joined coalitions that demanded justice and catalyzed social change. Our film kit surrounding the Children's March of 1963 is one such story that can help students see themselves in the history of activism.

Low-income students are more likely to attend schools with poor air quality and with facilities in poor condition, complicating efforts to reopen schools in ways that make them equally safe. #caedu #caleg #capol #CABudget

NEA member @gerardinho9's students had just witnessed history, and he wanted them to understand their place in it.

We are happy for @TheElliotPage and proud of his continued advocacy work. Whether it is Elliot or your own student coming out as trans or queer, there are several important things to keep in mind to signal support. Here are a few.

Our @LBSchools students are my "why." Today's RSVP meeting illustrated the power of #studentvoice. So many good ideas shared and just wait until the committee shares @ their legacy project. TY @lucysalazar for engaging with the committee today. #proudtobeLBUSD #ChiefEncourager

"It can be difficult, sometimes, to resist a culture that silences some voices from our history and trivializes others. However, as teachers, we are rogue activists, finding ways to tell our kids the truth." That includes how we teach about Thanksgiving.

Paths toward true unity, justice and reconciliation require more than interpersonal kindness. In this critical moment, we can model these paths in the classroom.
