Transcending Resistance, Igniting Revolution
It is time for revolution.
It is time for non-negotiable demands.
It is time to reclaim our public schools and demand all for all children.
Join us in Philly as we dialogue with an incredible group of revolutionary leaders who will help the Opt Out movement, the people’s movement, to craft a revolution that will tear down the test and punish system and help reshape our country, our communities, and our public schools so that equity and true democratic thinking becomes our reality.
