Save the date for a new Hands Off Our Schools Organizing Summit on February 22nd in the White River Junction Area. This is a day-long event.
Public schools are strongholds of democracy, free speech, and community building, which is why the federal government and billionaires want to dismantle them. Repression is rapidly increasing throughout the country and we need to be prepared to defend and resist. We need to be ready to consistently keep our marginalized students and staff safe, protect our academic freedom, keep our schools funded, and get ready to act when our rights are infringed on.
At this event we’ll come together to build relationships, process what’s happening and participate in specific training that will support us to defend our communities and organize to protect against attacks on our public schools. We expect to have skill based training on sanctuary schools, planning a walkout, community organizing, organizing for a wealth tax, and more.
What to volunteer?
We’ll need support with food, community defense, set up/clean up, tech support and more. If you are free that day please reach out and let me know what skills you may want to contribute!
