Channel: Paul Allison
Date: 2018-03-07

+Harry Brake and +Chris Sloan will lead a conversation about student activism on TTT http://edtechtalk.com/ttt tonight at 8E/7C/6M/5P.

Youth, come and let us know what you are doing and why!

Teachers, what is happening in your school? What are you doing to support youth activism on gun violence and other issues?

Women’s March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students, teachers, school administrators, parents, and allies to take part in a #NationalSchoolWalkout for 17 minutes at 10 am across every time zone on March 14, 2018 to protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods.

One of the +National Writing Project's invitations to write about the 
"American Creed" documentary asks: How can you express your American creed through action?

The individuals portrayed in American Creed take action as a way of expressing their sense of the American Creed. In his hometown in Pennsylvania, Joe Maddon saw a need for neighbors to get to know each other and created the Hazelton Integration Project to support youth sports and activity programs. Eric Liu, founder of Citizen University, created the Sworn-Again Project to revitalize citizenship. We invite you to propose, describe, or document actions people are taking to bring the aspirations and realities of the American creed closer together.

Come share your ACTION PLANS a week before the walkout and a couple of weeks before we March for Our Lives #marchforourlives https://marchforourlives.com/

We will gather to share resources and talk about what is happening with youth and in our school around issues of gun violence, climate change, and more! We hope you can join us at http://edtechtalk.com/ttt at on Wednesday night, March 7th at 8E/7C/6M/5P.
