Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action

February 1-5, 2021

Over the last three years, we have seen the powerful impact of the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action locally and nationally.

The Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action and Year of Purpose campaign promotes a set of national demands based in the Black Lives Matter movement’s 13 guiding principles that focus on improving the school experience for students of color. We share below resources to help educators prepare to engage students in the week of action and the year of purpose.
