Organizer OUSD Sanctuary District Committee
Organizer of Bringing Sanctuary to the Classroom: OUSD Educator Convening
We envision a school district in which all schools are sanctuary schools, and where students, staff, and families can find safety, calm, and community. We seek to bring our communities together in solidarity to confront escalating anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric, racially motivated violence, and imminent threats to the safety and unity of our families.
