As a school community, we will recognize Black Lives Matter at School the week of February 5-9.
Started in 2017 and emerging from the efforts of Philadelphia-area educators, the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action is in its 8th year. Read more about the history of the week here. From BLM at School:
“The Week of Action centers 13 guiding principles and 4 demands of Black Lives Matter at School. From double dutch parties to rallies in front of the department of education, students, educators, families, unions, and community organizations participate both in and outside of the classroom. This year’s theme is Collective Value. The Black Lives Matter at School guiding principle of Collective Values states, “We are guided by the fact that all Black lives, regardless of sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, economic status, ability, disability, education, location, age, immigration status, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, matter. None of us are free until we are all free.” We encourage all to participate in the Week of Action.
