Student Community Gathering for Racial Justice in Education
To all student leaders and supporting community members 
We at Roosevelt Alumni for Racial Equity – RARE, WA State NAACP Youth Council, and Social Justice Film Festival & Institute are excited to announce our collaborative event:
Student Community Gathering for Racial Justice in Education
Wed, Nov. 20th @ 6:30 – 9 pm PST
@University Heights Center 5031 University Way NE, Seattle 98105
A space for students to learn about Seattle’s desegregation efforts through RARE’s 30-minute film Roosevelt High School: Beyond Black & White and build community by meeting and sharing their experiences in education to inspire collective change across their school communities.
After the height of the pandemic, relationship-building and collaboration have become more difficult. This generation of student activists is hungry. Let this be a space for them to connect, network, and inspire each other.
All students and their communities are invited! A great opportunity to meet students from other schools!
Free dinner will be provided.
