This toolkit is part of the H.E.A.L. Together initiative, a joint effort of Race Forward and NYU Metro Center, which Schott is proud to support through grantmaking and technical assistance.

This is a campaign planning and narrative toolkit to win the fight for honest, accurate, and fully funded public education that is the foundation for a just, multiracial democracy.

Everyone who believes in strong schools and educational equity has a role to play — especially the students, parents, and educators who are most impacted by the culture wars in our schools. This toolkit will help you call your community to action.

Please share widely — so we can face our challenges together, not hide from them.

This toolkit contains:

• Background to help you understand how we got here
• Steps to help you build a campaign in your school and community
• Researched and tested messaging guidance to help you talk about these issues
• Resources to help you take action, including templates, worksheets, and more
