See the launch of our teaching curricula for racial equity & housing justice
Last week, on April 21, we organized this online event to launch more than two dozen curricula and resources on teaching for racial equity and housing justice, designed in collaboration with Bay Area teachers. Coming out of a two year-long project in collaboration with Bay Area teachers, these materials are designed to make more accessible the Bay Area's histories of racial dispossession in housing as well as its histories of resistance and housing justice organizing. You can find these resources here.
