W.I.T.H
Over the past few months, our office has been issuing social justice resources – “Just Act” reports and videos – on various topics related to our four commitments and other “hot-button” issues. These resources are intended for use in classroom settings and small group discussions, and we hope they will educate readers and facilitate engagement and advocacy.
As we seek to reach a broad audience with these resources, we would like to reach out to you, our internal readers, for assistance in spreading the word about these Just Acts. In this community of educators, many of you have developed contacts and networks that might be interested in receiving these materials, and we would greatly appreciate your help in reaching them. Please pass along these materials if you know of anyone who might find them useful, and if you have ideas for methods of distribution that would bring more attention or engage a broader audience, please get in touch with Kathleen Bonnette, Assistant Director JPIC (kbonnette@amssnd.org). Thank you!
