School-based sex ed has been under increasing attack from the far right, alongside honest American history and the right of trans students to exist. These hateful efforts are a threat to not just the young people in schools right now, but to the more just and joyful world we are all working so hard to build.
But the bigots aren’t the only ones getting organized.
At our launch event on Tuesday, November 9, we were joined by cutting edge leaders across a range of movements, who shared their insight into why sex education is a key to social change, and how EducateUS will work with SIECUS to build a sex ed movement powerful enough to transform the country for good.
