An Opportunity to Speak Out to Create and Support an Actively Anti-Racist School District

As our community and the nation debates, rallies, marches and protests around issues of racial injustice, we are creating a space for conversations with our community around equity issues for students of Des Moines Public Schools. Please join us for an action-oriented conversation with staff and administration about the barriers to equitable student outcomes and opportunities in Des Moines.

Be prepared to talk. We are prepared to listen.

Through the registration process, participants will either receive a link to a virtual Zoom meeting or instructions for attending an in-person, student-only session (student-only sessions will be limited in order to maintain physical distancing and other health guidelines).
