In 2025, Teaching for Change engaged more than 5,000 educators and students through 64 educator workshops and classroom visits. We partnered with publishers to send over 3,100 social justice books to classrooms. All of this is made possible at no cost to teachers.

#EduSky As our school buildings wind down for a winter break, we encourage you to fill your calendars with the annual Black Lives Matter at School Curriculum Fair. This virtual event supports all of the #edusky community who uplift the guiding principles of Black Lives Matter at School.

Here's a 🧵 with quotes from "Is It Too Late?" by @sifill.bsky.social. Please read in full & subscribe. "Many of those with the biggest platforms know very little about race, so they protect their status as experts by insisting that race is not the issue." sherrilyn.substack.com/p/is-it-too-...

Every day is a good day to ask.

“...what’s divisive is not history. What’s divisive is denial about history.” We're so thankful for Kimberlé Crenshaw being here to speak on intersectional justice & her vision for a more inclusive, equitable educational system! #NCSS2025

"'Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?'" by @bdtauthor.bsky.social is essential reading for us all.

Teaching for Change joined many nonprofit and community partners to the D.C. Mayor condemning support of the federal invasion into D.C. We demand that political leaders stand with the people and against fascism. #FreeDC always ❤️

#tdih 1964 (Freedom Summer) white family in McComb, Miss. hosted two white civil rights workers for brief visit to their home. Result: they were terrorized, had to leave town. Goal? Discourage white solidarity with voting rights & Black freedom struggle ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/he...

#tdih SF 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick’s non-violent protest of police brutality — not standing for National Anthem before a game — gained public attention #tdih 2016.

Do folks know that there are teams of people out in DC EVERY NIGHT until all hours to record what ICE. DHS, MPD etc are doing? I don't think those outside DC know that. They think people are passive or in support. Total lie. There's so much going on here. Hope other cities take tactical note.
