Note: due to unforeseen circumstances, we must cancel tomorrow's monthly meeting of the Madison Dems. Please stay tuned for information about the October meeting!
"Despite the poignancy of this time, the urgency of now also calls for hope and promise — and action. Educators, students, their families, and communities are joining together to demand truth-telling in schools and to counter decisions that censor dialogue around race and injustice in the classroom. People are applying collective pressure to ensure enforcement of the law, affirming undocumented children’s rights to enroll and participate fully in public schools. All over the nation, people are working together for a stronger democracy. These actions are necessary.
How we respond to this urgent moment will determine how we shape the meaning of justice. This time requires a unified base of advocates committed to a multiracial, multiethnic democracy. We’ve collectively learned lessons from this past year. Following them will get us closer to the world we hope for ourselves and for the generations to come.
This school year, let us all commit to working in solidarity to champion the needs of our children, first and foremost. And let’s allow our shared lessons to inform and inspire us to keep moving toward a more just and equitable education for all young people."

It’s a simple but powerful idea:
we are stronger together!
