Philly Black Lives Matter Week of Action at School

Black Lives Matter Week of Action in Schools is a national movement to push schools towards racial justice for students and teachers. This week focuses on how the 13 guiding principles of Black Lives Matter can enhance and support a curriculum that often excludes many of the struggles and contributions of Black people and other people of color. During this week the Racial Justice Organizing Committee of the Caucus of Working Educators hosts events around the city where the community can engage in this work.

Costs: We are raising money to keep these events free or low cost keeping participation open to everyone. Space rental fees, food for guests and participants, and childcare are important to the success of these events. 

Every year this movement of support for the students of the city of Philadelphia grows. We want to keep this momentum and make sure our students know they matter!
