Florida is ground zero for fascism and the far right's agenda to send us back in time. We urgently need to build a mass movement to stop Ron DeSantis and the slew of fascist politicians on school boards and city councils, in state houses and congress all across the country and

"Although traditional policy actors often create barriers for historically marginalized educators & youth, community-based, grassroots organizers are doing the work ...to move us closer to schools that are holistically safe, center belonging, & invest deeply in all s's success."

I was there and Steve Bousquet is spot on. What appeared to be 100s of police from across law enforcement - including state patrol & 🐠 & wildlife - amassed across the day as we protested peacefully. They didn't show up at the time of arrest. They prepared all day for the moment.

This.right.here. Dream Defenders and other organizations put so much care into planning for the #CantBanUs action and a big part of prep was necessarily planning for and training us all on keeping ourselves and each other safe from assaults like this.

We just got started! Come join us! cjsfund.pub/coffee2 #TeacherAppreciationWeek #education #justice #philanthropy

TPMS's huge loss is QOHS's gain, for sure. Congrats!

Three events in DC and NYC this week to raise our voices for justice in India. If you can’t join, support the groups organizing & spread the word. Jan 21: Rally by Queens United against Hindu Fascism (NYC) Jan 21: Howdy Democracy at City Winery Jan 22: White House rally

Dear school administrators: Please don't send a message to families that centers one community while completely erasing another. (I just got one of these). Palestinian American students go to our schools too & receive support just as Jewish students do. Pls get it right.

What is astonishing is that so many different people & institutions are sharing concerns, from IG influencers to school superintendents to exec leaders. And how 8/10 times, these statements don't even mention the impact on Palestinian lives. Erasure = Dehumanization.

Pls read and share Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's statement on the resolution.

NOW: Hundreds of Jewish Americans being arrested at Grand Central Station in what might be the biggest mass civil disobedience that NYC has seen in two decades.

This horrible seething vitriole was unleashed on protestors here in Montgomery County MD Government. We must not look away. This is why we all must take action to demand #CeasefireNOW

In case anyone needs a reminder: marylandmatters.org/2023/11/13/let…

A group of parents in Maryland are documenting discrimination targeting Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, South Asians, and allies who speak up for Palestine. Documenting is a vital way to share community experiences and demand action. Pls read/share widely. medium.com/@MD4localgloba…
