Justice Talks 2020

WE NEED JUST SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES NOW.

Recent events have laid bare the stark racial, social and economic fault lines of injustice that plague our society. Join the Illinois Education Association, Northwestern University and the Opportunity Coalition this fall for Justice Talks, a series of three discussions with state and national experts on the roots of injustice in our society. Hear about their research and work in racial and social justice and learn how to make your school and community more just. Series' participants will receive a microcredential.
