CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF RETHINKING SCHOOLS!

Since our founding, we have promoted a vision of education that equips students to imagine — and to help create — the transition to a more just society. Schools can nurture the skills and sensibilities to contribute to a society built on principles of equality and ecology. Teachers have been the first line of defense in fighting fascism — organizing the struggle against ICE, militarization, and truth-banning.

We help teachers and activists tell stories about their exemplary work and about strategies of resistance. At a time of ferocious attacks on public education, your support is vital.

Throughout all of 2026, we’ll be sharing ways to help Rethinking Schools continue to uplift the education justice movement and demand better for our teachers, students, and society.

Use these actions to help us celebrate 40 years of Rethinking Schools!
