Join Rethinking Schools, Defending the Early Years, and Black Lives Matter at School for a conversation on Centering Collective Value in the Early Years. This webinar event celebrates Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action.

Defending the Early Years Executive Director Denisha Jones and Rethinking Schools Executive Director Cierra Kaler-Jones will be in conversation with Makai Kellogg, an early childhood educator and Equity and Diversity Coordinator at School for Friends in Washington, DC; Akiea “Ki” Gross, an early childhood educator, creator, former classroom teacher, instructional coach, and cultural organizer; and Laleña Garcia, a Brooklyn kindergarten teacher and member of the NYC Black Lives Matter at School steering committee.
Panelists will discuss how we teach and organize for racial justice, especially in the early years. They’ll offer stories, examples, and concrete strategies for antiracist pedagogy and abolitionist practice. They will discuss how to lift Black joy, confront anti-Blackness, and build authentic partnerships to fight for more equitable and just schools.
