Black Lives Matter Week Feb. 1st - Feb 5th
Black Lives Matter at School is a national committee of educators organizing for racial justice in education. Black Lives Matter at School encourages all educators, students, parents, unions, and community organizations to join their annual Week of Action during the first week of February each year.
The Black Lives Matter at School movement first started in Seattle during the fall of 2016, when thousands of educators in Seattle came to school on October 19th wearing shirts that said, “Black Lives Matter: We Stand Together.” Hundreds of families and students did too. Many of the shirts also included the message “#SayHerName,” a campaign to raise awareness about the often unrecognized state violence and assault of women in our country."
