UW-Milwaukee, April 29: In Honor of Public Education – A Vigil

This Vigil is a chance to both honor and mourn public education. The event will first be a memorial service, where we will stand together in solidarity over the various detriments to our public education system.

Following this candle-lit service, the floor will be given to students, faculty, and other community members to speak about the importance of public education, share personal stories, slam poetry, engage in song and dance, etc.

As a collective we can then decide how we wish to move forward (ie: in groups discuss creative solutions).

Please join in recognizing the fragility of public education, celebrate its power, and feel the dynamism of individuals coming together to be a booming collective voice!

EDUCATION RUNS MY WORLD, YOUR WORLD, OUR WORLD.

Looking forward to celebrating with you.
