Next Roundtable, May 19

Our next Roundtable will focus on violence against girls in school settings. We will be meeting on May 19 at 5 pm.

This is an area where there is a lot of campaign work underway, and we'll be hearing from folks around those campaigns, including:

-- the Shriver Center's work around ESSA legislation
-- the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance's anti-bullying legislation
-- the Safe & Affirming Education campaign led by Gender JUST

We'll talk about the school to prison pipeline as it affects girls, and the role of violence. And we'll think about what else needs to change to make schools safe places for girls to thrive.
