My Project

We are reaching out to you today with a powerful initiative aimed at fostering positive change in our local middle school. Our campaign revolves around the novel "Dress Coded" by Carrie Firestone, a thought-provoking exploration of the inequities embedded in school dress codes and the incredible impact that a determined group of middle schoolers can have when they unite for a common cause.

Dress codes have long been a source of controversy, disproportionately affecting students based on gender, race, and socio-economic background.

The novel "Dress Coded" brilliantly highlights these disparities and inspires us to address them head-on. By supporting this campaign, you're contributing to a movement that seeks to create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for all students.
