STAND FOR EQUALITY AT PEORIA UNIFIED 4/11!
What's happening:
A Christian nationalist group wants to swamp Peoria Unified's April 11th school board meeting in support of members and staff who made a teacher the target of fearmongering by evangelicals and far right groups.
Member Heather Rooks waged a political smear campaign in the district demonizing non-gender conforming people, casting Chunnui as a child predator because of their identity.
Chunnui is suing the district for creating a hostile work environment, free speech violations, sex discrimination, and other counts.
Christian nationalist group Arizona Women of Action wants to drive more hardcore evangelical proselytizing against LGBTQ+ people at the April 11th meeting, among other indignities to the district's diverse population.
There is more support for equality and secular values in PUSD than there is support for Christian nationalist hate. But board members, parents, and the press won't know if they don't see it.
WHAT YOU DO
- Get to the April 11th PUSD Governing Board meeting early (meeting starts starts at 6pm) and fill seats before extremists get the chance. Location: 6330 W Thunderbird Rd. Glendale, AZ
- Wear highly-visible clothing advocating secular or pro-equality values (steal a spot in front of a camera if you can — CNs like to do that)
- Speak at the meeting in support of secular values and civil rights, identifying that you're a constituent of PUSD
