Everyday Black, Latino and Native American students are targeted with pepper stray, search police dogs, restraints and unfair disciplinary action in our schools. The Week of Action is a national campaign event to address everyday injustices in our schools like police brutality and school push out. This will be the 6th anniversary for the campaign where all around the country community led demonstrations are held to fight systematic oppression from the classroom to the courtroom. Join us in the fight for education Justice!

Join the Youth Organizing Institute, NC HEAT, El Pueblo, Inc., Education Justice Alliance, and community groups across the nation who are calling for an end to the criminalization and school push out of youth of color, LGBTQ youth, and youth with disabilities.
