National Week of Action Against School Pushout

Education Is STILL a Human Right!

We’re kicking off the 2025 Dignity in Schools Campaign (DSC CA) Week of Action, and this year, the Central Valley is going bigger than ever — a full Month of Action Against School Pushout!

Starting October 6th, we’re celebrating the launch of CVMB Organizing Institute‘s three bold new billboards in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton, calling attention to what our communities already know:

Safe schools are not optional — they’re a right.

👀 Stop by, snap a photo, and tag us on social media using #ParentsAreWatching #EducationJustice #SafeSchoolsNoExceptions
