Tools for the Fight

Free Resources to Support Educators in the Anti-Equity Era

Let’s be real—this is not the blog post I wanted to write.

Like so many of you, I had hoped we wouldn’t be here. I had hoped we wouldn’t need checklists and response strategies just to defend the fundamental truth that all students deserve to belong, to be seen, and to thrive.

But here we are. And we’re not backing down.

In response to the increasingly hostile climate toward Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts in schools, I’ve created a Resource Bank of Free Tools to support educators, leaders, and advocates who are determined to stay grounded in their values and continue the work that matters most.

🛠 Inside the Resource Bank, you’ll find:

• 4 Tips to Survive the Anti-Equity Era – Quick guidance to help you stay focused, strategic, and strong.
  
• Surviving Anti-Equity Checklist – A practical tool to help you navigate your current educational landscape with clarity and intention.
  
• Six “Moves” for Districts Responding to the War on DEI in Schools – Frameworks and recommendations for schools and districts determined to lead with integrity.
  
• Sample Support Letter to Community – A customizable template to help you communicate your stance with courage and professionalism.

These resources aren’t exhaustive, and they aren’t magic wands. But they are a starting place—and a way to stay connected, supported, and prepared.

Because here’s what I know: when we fight, we win.

We are stronger together. We can still build and protect the kinds of learning environments every child deserves. And even in the face of policy attacks or public pressure, there are ways to resist, to persist, and to lead with purpose.

If you’re an educator who’s been asking:
“What do I say? What can I do? How do I keep going?”
—this toolkit is for you.

Let’s stay steadfast. Let’s keep showing up. And let’s make sure our students know we’re fighting for them—every step of the way.
