Christian nationalists have promised to “keep bringing this heat” at school board meetings. Public commenters are calling teachers and the LGBTQIA community “perverts,” “groomers,” and “indoctrinators.” People are talking about bathrooms and trans students, opposing bonds/overrides, “leftist” educators, book bans, “critical race theory”… you get the idea.

We're exploring ways to work with partners to train concerned citizens on getting more involved with their school boards — including helping them run for office.
