In the wake of a newly emboldened authoritarian regime, educators across the country — and especially in the D.C. area — have faced many challenges to truth-telling and public education itself. And yet, D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice continued to show up, and create spaces for resistance, reflection, and collective care.
