We encourage you to RSVP via our Meetup website:


http://www.meetup.com/Educating-for-Social-Justice-Meetup-Group



The LSJ Leadership Team invites educators & interested citizens to explore the relationship between social justice, education & literacy through three important lenses: 1) the classroom, 2) politics & 3) action. Members of LSJ will be sharing examples of current social justice work from their classrooms and political experiences involving education. There will also be opportunities for participants to share about how they are teaching or acting for social justice. This will be a great opportunity to dialogue with other social justice educators and get ideas for potential lessons! Please forward to others interested in educating for change & justice!
