We are taking back our power to organize, educate, and resist." The Center for Research Education Activism and Development (CREAD) is proud to join this effort. On this day, we will facilitate a teach-in to learn in community and discuss issues like the erasure of our history, book bans, voter suppression and gerrymandering. It's all connected. So join us! Invite friends and family, anyone who is concerned about these issues and is interested in seeking change. We'd especially welcome the participation of high school students.  We look forward to seeing you all!
