Blockwalk For Libraries In HISD Schools-Leadership Is Up To Us

8/18/2023

Community Voices for Public Education will hold a blockwalk on Sunday, 8/20, to tell Houstonians about the loss of libraries in many HISD schools & to talk about ways to fight back.

We've lost our elected school board in what just 60 years ago was a Jim Crow city. Leadership to protect our democracy is going to have to come each of us.

Here is what CVPE says:

Blockwalk with CVPE on Sunday, August 20th, 5:30 PM (1013 Majestic St, 77020) to spread awareness of what is happening to our schools because of the takeover. This takeover is making things worse!

Miles is turning libraries into zoom discipline removal rooms!

We demand a library and a librarian in every school.

Here is the link to take part.
