LEARNING RESOURCES
We have curated a variety of classroom resources for every age group. These resources are all free of charge and meant to be shared and used. The goal of these lessons and activities is to challenge racism and oppression and providing students with the vocabulary and tools needed to take action.
What can collective liberation mean or look like?
Submit a creative response including but not limited to drawing, painting, collage, poetry, song/rap, or any other type of expression by Monday, February 12th.
