This session invites educators and leaders in education to explore how organizing can become a central practice in advancing educational justice. Rooted in principles of interdependence, mutual aid, and community care, we’ll reflect on our own organizing in solidarity for Free Palestine and the diverse roles we each play in collective movements. Participants will engage in practical exercises, drawn from the Let This Radicalize You Workbook, to develop the muscle of collectivity—preparing us to act when it matters most. Through discussions on organizing hurdles and a creative protest art activity, participants will be empowered to call each other in, challenge oppressive systems, and radicalize their approaches to building communities of care. Together, we will reimagine how organizing practices can support educational liberation.
Alejandra Pérez (she/ella) is an educator, community organizer, and a current PhD student in Culturally Sustaining Education at the University of Washington.
