Help me give my students 250 copies of the book Stamped: Racism, Anti-racism, and You so that our whole 7th grade can participate in a book study on anti-racism.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
We have a large school, with an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse population, and we work hard to create opportunities for our community to get together to share their unique experiences and engage in and celebrate learning.
With a majority of the families in our school living in poverty, we try to create innovative experiences that build our students' repertoire.
We want to offer students at our Title I public school the same sorts of experience that students in rich public schools receive. We are focused on social justice and educational equity.
My Project
Teachers at our school are backward mapping from the community we want to live in. At our school we focus on peace building, equity, and social justice. As recent events demonstrate clearly, racism is an issue in the United States, and our community is not immune. It is time for us to affirm black lives and have courageous conversations with our students about the construct of race and how people of color have suffered and continue to suffer great injustices.
At our school, we want to actively work to be anti-racist.
We want to teach for anti-racism.
With this grant, we hope to purchase a grade level set of the book, Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You: A Remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning. All 7th grade students will read this text to understand the history of racism in the United States and to explore actions they can take to work to undo racism. This book will inform and guide us as we aim to do the work to make our community more loving and just for ALL.
