As a national network, we strive to stay connected to the local work that ensures Black lives matter at school. Our committees are one way to uplift regional lessons, activities, policies, or organizations.  This will ensure best practices can be shared across all nine regions and the national work aligns with the needs of communities.

This work requires individuals from various backgrounds willing to take on different roles. We want you to show up authentically in ways that align with how you want to be in community impacting change. With this in mind, we have reframed our committees to align with the social change ecosystem map. Below are some of the ways we will be demonstrating that Black Lives Matter at School.
