All pre-K–12th grade D.C. area educators are invited to participate in a planning meeting for the annual D.C. Area Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action (Feb 2-6, 2026)!

During this time, we will be reminded of the guiding principles and national demands, along with the Year of Purpose. We will also review and share resources for lessons and activities for uplifting Black Lives Matter at School during the Week of Action and beyond. Participants will network with peers from the D.C. metro area during community-building activities like trivia and share-outs about past ways folks have engaged in the Week of Action. Educators will work in grade-level groups to develop classroom resources. Everyone will leave with a free book of their choice from our selection of elementary and YA books related to the Black Lives Matter principles and Black history. Snacks and coffee will be provided.

Thank you to Critical Exposure for co-sponsoring the space for this event. Location will be shared with confirmed registrants in the week leading up to the event.

Registration fee is $5 per attendee. When you register, you will receive a confirmation with a discount code for the 2026 Black Lives Matter at School Curriculum Fair scheduled for Saturday, January 24, 2026.
