🚨🚨Thrilled to reveal the cover of my new book, “Teach Truth: The Struggle for Antiracist Education,” on today’s National #TeachTruth Day of Action! 📚✨ For years I’ve helped organize the movement against laws banning teaching about racism while writing this book. Coming soon!

My @truthout piece: Before 1776 or 1619, enslaved Africans freed themselves in 1526 on land that became the U.S. 500 years later, during #America250 hype, this history reminds us: freedom wasn’t given by men in powdered wigs—it was seized by the enslaved. truthout.org/articles/500-y…

Congrats @democracynow !!!

I’m one of 20 million+ people in the U.S. living with #LongCOVID. This fight isn’t just personal—it’s part of a long struggle for health justice in a nation that’s never been healthy for all. My new @Truthout piece: 👉 truthout.org/articles/i-am-… #DisabilityJustice #PublicHealth

...while noting there are recent discoveries finding measurable Long Covid biomarkers tied to SARS-CoV-2 negative-sense viral load (ie replicating virus). Thanks to author @JessedHagopian for citing LCAP's actions! truthout.org/articles/i-am-…

Our students are living through an occupation. Federal agents are terrorizing Chicago neighborhoods and schools. This is not “law enforcement.” It’s state-sanctioned violence. The U.S. government just handed ICE and DHS $170 billion—more than the military budgets of entire countries—to wage war on Black and brown communities. This is what misplaced priorities look like: billions for brutality while our schools, health care, and neighborhoods go underfunded. We refuse to stand by while our students and their families are kidnapped, detained, and traumatized. We demand safety, dignity, and freedom for every family.

@JessedHagopian highlights the gross level of power #BillGates has amassed by spending billions “experimenting on the education of poor children… while sending his own kids to elite private schools.” Learn more in our webinar: youtu.be/zPbXxEpM4tk #ConfrontOligarchy

"Social justice unionism" is what we need now, more than ever. rethinkingschools.org/articles/trump… @JessedHagopian @RethinkSchools

@JessedHagopian argues that there has been no single force as destructive for #publiceducation as #BillGates. Hear more from Jesse and other powerful speakers in our recent webinar “Gates’s Global Power Grab: Building a Movement Against Oligarchy”: youtu.be/zPbXxEpM4tk
