The DC Area Educators for Social Justice are hosting several upcoming events of interest to the Nashman family. This group is primarily focused on K-12 educators, but their events are open to all.
Educators for Equity Book Club
Late April-Early June
Educators for Equity invites D.C. area educators to participate in a book club to read and discuss We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom by Bettina L. Love over three sessions. All three sessions will occur on weekday evenings, with one in late April, an author talk with Bettina Love in May, and a final session in early June. The group prefers participants who can attend all three sessions.
