Educators, plan now to be part of the second Black LivesMatter at School week to be held 4-8 February 2019.

Community members, parents, caregivers, community leaders and nurturers of children, plan  to support our educators during the second BlackLivesMatter at School week.

Black Lives Matter At School is a national committee educators organizing for racial justice in education.  We encourage all educators, parents, students, unions, and community organizations to join our annual week of action during the first week of February each year.

Please, visit their website to find how to embed the 13 Guiding Principles into the week long curriculum. Download the curriculum, follow the blog and get your t-shirt to physically show your support.

Founders: Patrice Khan-Cullors; Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi.

Guiding Principles:

Including but not limited to:

“We intentionally build and nurture a beloved community that is bonded together through a beautiful struggle that is restorative, not depleting.”

“We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a prerequisite for wanting the same for others.”

We see ourselves as part of the global Black family, and we are aware of the different ways we are impacted or privileged as Black people who exist in different parts of the world.

“We embody and practice justice, liberation, and peace in our engagements with one another.”

If you or your organization would like to support or endorse the week of action, please email us at: BlackLivesMatterAtSchool2@gmail.com.
