UOO Webinar Series: What does the Education Revolution look like?
Announcing: UNITED OPT OUT Webinar Series
What: United Opt Out National is hosting a series of webinars that engage participants in discussions around the key question: WHAT DOES THE EDUCATION REVOLUTION LOOK LIKE?
Grounded in our belief that this is the People’s Movement, fueled by grassroots action and organizing, we will be focusing each webinar on chapters from our book, An Activist Handbook for the Education Revolution, and we will share how each of us can take local or national actions. Webinar participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and contribute to the conversation.
Each chapter in our book includes questions and suggestions for actions related to the corresponding chapter topics. Those questions and suggestions are the guiding outline for our webinars. You do not need to have read the book in order to participate in the webinars! Bring your questions and your experience and your suggestions to the conversation!
