Teaching for Change partnered with Filmfest DC: The Washington, DC International Film Festival for a tenth year to spread the word about the international film festival and to bring filmmakers for some of the films into D.C. classrooms in June 2021.

D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice and the African American Civil War Memorial and Museum invited D.C. area teachers and allies to a convening to decry the GOP legislation that would require teachers to lie to students about the role of racism, sexism, heterosexism, and oppression throughout U.S. history on Saturday, June 12. The rally was part of a national day of action to Teach the Truth organized by the Zinn Education Project and Black Lives Matter at School.
