As educators, we promise to nurture and protect our students. This sacred promise proves impossible to uphold when our Black students and their parents come under fire unjustly and without consequence time and again. It has never been more important for educators to speak up and defend the rights of their students to exist, grow and flourish in America.
We will hold a peaceful rally to demonstrate the unity and commitment of educators to bring about conditions in our society that allow our Black students and their families to exist and thrive.
This is not a rally in favor of any particular educational system, curriculum, etc. This is the harmonizing of the voices of countless educators committed to safeguarding Black students’ right to live and learn in a just and bountiful country.
We encourage all of our participants to come prepared with face masks and practice social distancing whenever possible to follow COVID-19 guidelines. We also encourage participants to bring comfortable walking shoes, wear sunscreen, and bring signs with any message they would like to share.
Note: No donation is required to register. Any donations not used on supplies for the event will be donated to UNCF: United Negro College Fund.
