This event has been postponed. We’ll share the new date as soon as it’s available. Watch the film, The Encampments, and then have a discussion about it. Led by youth organizers!

Join us as we learn from Vermont School Workers United about building worker power in schools. Building a powerful teacher workforce is especially important in this moment to defend public schools and continue to push for education justice.

We must lift up the voices of impacted students and families ​and push collectively to make changes to the Agency of Education model policy for Hazing, Bullying and Harassment. Join us in an organizing meeting where we’ll plan a press conference, speaking out a the HHB council, and a letter writing campaign.

 If you or youth you support have been impacted by harm in your schools, this meeting is meant for you. Come develop a clear set of recommendations for this new policy based on student and family needs– and the lived expertise of surviving and thriving in spite of harm.

This training will function as both a "train-the-trainers" event as well as a general Know Your Rights overview for school workers and community advocates. Participants will learn about the key legal foundations that guarantee education to all students, regardless of immigration status, the legal foundation and best practices that schools and educators should use while interacting with ICE, and how to ensure that students, staff, and community members all understand the rights of immigrants without legal status in the United States.
