WHY
Each year the Hannah Freedom School hosts a National Day of Social Action. Freedom Schools all over the country select a theme or issue to highlight that has national or local implications. This year the entire country is confronted by the ill effects of racism and white supremacy that manifests itself through the lens of police brutality and the murder of unarmed young people of color. In response to the pull on that consciousness, the young people speak!
WHAT
The walkathon and rally, Stepping For Change - Power, Education and Prosperity – Put P.E.P. In Your Step:Calls attention to the physical and mental assault on black and brown youth of color, gives visibility to those often unnamed victims of violence; and urges local school districts, the Office Of Education, the Board of Supervisors, and other governmental entities to make deliberate and intentional investment in programs and services that create opportunity for children of color in Marin City and the county.
