Get ready with D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice (DCAESJ) for the seventh annual D.C. Area Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action from February 5–9, 2024! The goal of the Week of Action is to encourage ongoing critical reflection, honest conversations, and targeted action among school communities of all ages to build schools where Black lives matter.

Join the Zinn Education Project for the monthly Teach the Black Freedom Struggle online classes. These classes offer the chance to learn directly from leading historians and meet peers from across the country to discuss the content and share teaching ideas.

Your generous support is helping us meet the increased demand for our resources — and stand up to the conservative attacks on anti-racist, social justice teaching. Make a gift to Teaching for Change.
