Remaking Schools — 4/23 Event 

From event organizers:

Remaking Schools in the Time of Corona Virus

• What has this crisis taught us about the role of public schools in society?
• What have we learned about what really matters in education during this time?
• When we re-open schools, what kind of education will we have, will we demand?

The Covid-19 crisis has upended public education around the country. Join three radical education activists in conversation about what this crisis means for public education now and how moving forward we can continue to fight for the schools our students deserve,
