Despite the relentless political attacks on antiracist education, traffic to the Zinn Education Project website continues to grow — a clear indication that educators and communities remain deeply committed to teaching the truth.
In the first quarter of 2025, we saw increases across every major metric compared to the same period in 2024: total page views, total visitors, new visitors, PDF downloads, and registrations were all up.
In a time when state legislatures are passing laws to ban truthful teaching, these numbers reflect a powerful countercurrent — one where teachers, students, and families seek out resources that center justice, people’s history, and critical thinking.
| One of the most striking indicators of this commitment is the continued and growing interest in teaching the history and current reality of Palestine. The most downloaded lessons this quarter also include those on redlining, Reconstruction, the Black Panthers, COINTELPRO, and deportations. Educators are making powerful connections between systems of injustice, past and present. Remarkably, these lessons are reaching educators in all 50 states, including places with some of the most aggressive anti-truth legislation, such as Florida, Texas, and Iowa. These metrics aren’t just numbers — they are evidence of a movement of conscience, solidarity, and a refusal to be silenced. |

| Everything in the book Teaching for Black Lives is relevant and I feel all educators should be required to read it because it causes a shift in your view of the impact we have every day with our students. It has changed me, and the way I approach every subject I teach in my classroom. I appreciate the opportunity to be part of the Teaching for Black Lives movement! — Laurie Benway, San Leandro, California |
| Since 2020, the Zinn Education Project has hosted hundreds of Teaching for Black Lives study groups. Teachers discuss how to teach for Black lives and gain the strength to confront right-wing attacks. There is power in numbers. |
