Not a Moment,

It's the Movement

Not a Moment, It’s the Movement is a new, six-part conversation series for SoWashCo staff. The goal of this series is to create a space to learn, provide information, and engage in conversations about the Black lives matter movement, its origins, its purpose, and its place in public education.

Not a Moment, It’s the Movement is open to all SoWashCo teachers. There will be four chances to catch each week’s live, virtual session. These sessions will feature facilitated discussions that provide a safe space to ask questions, explore ideas and grow in our racial awareness.
