Freedom to Learn & Teach Truth Day of Action

Join us for the Teach Truth Day of Action on June 7.

Some politicians are trying to censor the lessons taught in our classrooms, ban books, and exclude certain kids based on what they look like or where they live. They’re trying to divide and distract us from their failures to provide all of our kids everything they need to learn, grow, and thrive. But together we can make our voices loud and clear to protect the freedom to learn & teach truth. 

We are moving forward to a better future where every student—whether Black, brown, or white, Native or newcomer, LGBTQ+ or differently abled—has the #freedomtolearn.

On June 8, educators, students, parents, and community members are rejecting these attempts at division and uniting to protect the freedom to learn and teach truth.

Plan a Teach Truth Day Event

From five people at your local library to a rally in your town square, no event is too big or too small.

• Select a public site. Host an information table at a public site (like a library, bookstore, museum, festival, or farmers market) or organize a gathering at a historic site.
• Plan your activity. Bring your community together around the freedom to learn, whether it’s a history walking tour, book exchange, rally, or phone bank.
• Amplify Your Action. Post photos and videos to social media with the hashtag #TeachTruth and #FreedomtoLearn.

Host an event and receive a Teach Truth pop-up installation box with banned books and other resources.
