On Sunday, February 17, educators and immigrant rights advocates, organized by Teachers Against Child Detention, are hosting a Teach-In for Freedom in El Paso, Texas. El Paso is a U.S.-Mexico border city 30 miles from the now-closed Tornillo Detention Center that, until recently, held 3,800 children.
The Teach-In for Freedom, initiated by 2018 Teacher of the Year Mandy Manning, is one part of the TACD’s Call to Action. In addition to the Teach-In for Freedom, during which educators and students from across the country will gather to teach mini-lessons in support of ending child detention, TACD has issued an invitation to all educators: Advocate for immigrant children by teaching a lesson in your classroom, hosting a book and letter drive in your school, and making a video in support of TACD’s mission.
If you can’t travel to Texas, here are some suggestions for participating in the Call to Action.
