DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation on Black Lives Matter at School, a webinar that 
 is part of our "Labor and the Struggle for. . ." series on how important 
 current issues intersect with social movements for labor rights and racial 
 justice.\n\nDate and Time: Thu, Mar 11, 2021 @ 4:00 PM PST\n\nResister

 struggle for access to education has been a part of every major uprising 
 for racial justice that Black people have engaged in throughout U.S. 
 history — from the abolitionist movement, to Reconstruction, to the Civil 
 Rights and Black Power. Jesse Hagopian will talk about social justice 
 unionism and the fusing together of the labor movement with social 
 movements for racial justice. Joined by a strong progressive labor 
 movement, these overdue demands for greater social and racial justice can 
 be achieved.\n\n\nABOUT: Jesse Hagopian\n\nJesse Hagopian is a member of 
 the Black Lives Matter at School steering committee and teaches Ethnic 
 Studies at Seattle’s Garfield High School.  Jesse is an editor for 
 Rethinking Schools magazine, the co-editor of the book, Teaching for Black 
 Lives, and the editor of the book More Than a Score: The New Uprising

 Award.  Jesse serves as the Director of the Black Education Matters Student 
 Activist Award.\n\n\nABOUT: The Will Miller Social Justice Lecture 
 Series\n\nhttps://willmiller.org/\n\nLike Will Miller, the Lecture Series 
 is not just about words, it is about action. We provide analysis and 
 information to help people take action–to become part of the movements 
 for justice. Building these movements today is more critical than ever. 
 Join us in achieving this critical goal. Please send a gift today to help 
 us bring progressive, outspoken and inspiring speakers to 
 Vermont.\n\nWillard “Will” Miller, Emeritus Assistant Professor of 
 Philosophy at the University of Vermont, died after an eight month struggle 
 with lung cancer. As an anti-war activist, Will dedicated his life to the 
 struggle for peace and social justice. The Will Miller Social Justice 
 Lecture Series was established in his honor.\n\n
