The Zinn Education Project, in conjunction with more than 80 prominent racial and social justice organizations, will hold a national briefing on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, to discuss the growing chorus of diverse voices speaking out against the state and federal attack on students’ freedom to learn and educators’ freedom to teach.
For the past four summers, educators, students, parents, and allies have joined across the country to speak out against politicians attempting to restrict the freedoms of educators and students. This year, from Puerto Rico to Alaska, and many towns and cities in between, organizers will host more than 160 events on Saturday, June 7 and beyond. The goal is to raise awareness about how anti-history education laws and book bans — and their chilling effect — threaten any chance of an informed and engaged democracy. View a list of locations and activities.

When: Tuesday, June 3, 2025, 1:00 pm – 1:50 pm EST
Where: Via Zoom.
Why: To draw attention to the chilling effects the restrictive laws introduced or passed that restrict, ban, or censor what educators can teach and what their students can learn about history, LGBTQ+ rights, race, and gender, among other topics.
