This briefing geared towards school board members will walk through how to create and pass a resolution supporting federal funding for our schools.

Join us on October 17th for HEAL Together’s “Advancing Racial Justice and Equity in Education” training. This workshop will offer the opportunity to engage deeply with the critical connections between racial equity, democracy, and public education.

Join the Advancement Project, J4J, and AROS as we discuss the current harmful trend of closing public schools, and how we can fight back.

In this workshop, participants will:

• Identify a new way to engage, mobilize, and persuade audiences based on RCN and race forward empirically-based messaging research findings.

• Recognize how the opposition is strategically using racism to undermine the government and hijack the economy, as well as ways that we can successfully push back.

• Practice using one part of the RCN framework to integrate in their work for honest, equitable, and fully funded public schools.

Project 2025… What is it? How will it affect our classrooms? How will it affect our students? We’ll discuss these topics and how we can work collectively to fight back and continue our work to transform public education.

Opinion pieces allow us to insert context into the news cycle to help reshape narratives. In this one-hour webinar, Word Force co-editors Nikesha Elise Williams and Megan Izen will facilitate a conversation about why, when and how to turn a story into a memorable argument that successfully advocates for change.

Join this workshop to better understand how school funding works and how we can successfully advocate and organize for the sustainable funding all our students deserve.

Join AROS and the Chicago Teachers Union to learn how to host a walk-in, best practices, and have your questions answered. This informal meet-up will help to support union locals and grassroots organizations in preparation for the September 30th day of action.
