Demand Safe Schools Motor March

Start: Saturday, August 08, 202011:00 AM

The push to reopen schools by both major parties is an act of political violence. We demand NO reopening until our schools are safe for students and all staff. #EdEquityOrElse

Join us for a motor march through Knoxville.

Demand Safe Schools is calling for the following terms to be met before a return to in-person learning:

  • No reopening until the scientific data supports it
  • Police-free schools
  • All schools must be supported to function as community schools with adequate numbers of counselors and nurses and community/parent outreach workers
  • Safe conditions including lower class sizes, PPE, cleaning, testing, and other key protocols Equitable access to online learning
  • Support for our communities and families, including moratorium on evictions/foreclosures, providing direct cash assistance to those not able to work or who are unemployed, and other critical social needs
  • Moratorium on new charter or voucher programs and standardized testing
  • Adequate and equitable funding, through federal stimulus
  • Massive infusion of federal money to support the reopening funded by taxing billionaires and Wall Street

DSA will be in the streets on 8/8 for the Demand Safe Schools Day of Resistance to win these demands.
