When our students are too terrified to come to school, we don't just teach—we march. From the art build tables to the frozen streets of St. Paul, watch how educators, students, and families turned anxiety into action. ✊❄️ #IceOutMN #ProtectOurStudents

ICE raids near schools = empty desks & traumatized children. More than 20% of students stayed home in Charlotte after deportation operations. Our kids deserve safety, not fear. #ProtectOurStudents #ImmigrantRights #SchoolsNotRaids
