Stop Closing Public Schools

Join us for our Stop Closing Public Schools Webinar on Thursday, October 17 at 6PM EST | 5PM CST | 4PM MST | 3PM PST! Register here. Spanish interpretation will be available.  

This virtual event is free and open to the public, but participants must register in advance.

What we will cover:  

  • The what, why, and how of the national crisis of school closures we are facing around the country – particularly in communities of color who are losing their local public schools 

  • Debunking of some of the common myths that have perpetuated this harmful trend  

  • Hearing directly from an organizer currently waging a campaign to protect their local public schools from closure 

  • Strategies for fighting back against the narrative that closing neighborhood schools is necessary 

To read more about school closures before the webinar, check out Advancement Project’s Stop Closing Public Schools Action Kit, and this op-ed  about this new wave of public school closures that is upon us and why it is harmful to communities of color, public education, and democracy.
