Making Black Lives Matter in Schools!
The 2023-2024 school year was another historic year for Students Deserve. We
held our annual Students Deserve Leadership Institute to train members in organizing and
strategizing our campaign for police-free schools. Additionally, we saw increased participation from
our chapters and joined new coalitions, including the People's Response Campaign for Black Safety
and Wellness with the Movement for Black Lives. We also became part of the Liberation Fund,
These accomplishments were made possible through the hard work and dedication of our youth
organizers, staff, and volunteers, who tirelessly advocated for justice and equity.
- Your donations could help us to hire a new staff person, pay students to participate in a summer internship program (instead of working at a low-wage service job), convene a conference of student leaders from across the U.S. to discuss next steps in the movement, and pay for the unmet needs of the organization such as securing an office space.
- It makes a huge difference to have your on-going support! If you can donate on a monthly basis, please check the box that says "Make this a monthly donation"
- If you have an idea for a resource you'd like to contribute instead of funds, please let us know! For example, if you'd like to donate food and water for meetings, graphic design services, TAP cards for students to get to meetings, or anything else, please contact us at [email protected].
We appreciate your contributions - big and small!
Our fiscal sponsor is Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs.
