DIVERSIFY OUR NARRATIVE

Clatlife

IN HONOR OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH, WE’RE PARTNERING WITH DIVERSIFY OUR NARRATIVE, A STUDENT-LED INITIATIVE THAT TARGETS U.S. SCHOOL BOARDS TO EXPAND THE CURRICULUM WITH DIVERSE AND ANTI-RACIST TEXTS. 

FOUNDED BY TWO STUDENTS, THEY INITIALLY BEGAN WITH ONE GOAL: TO CHANGE THEIR HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH CLASSROOMS TO INCLUDE DIVERSE TEXTS. SINCE THEN, THEY’VE EXTENDED THEIR VISION TO INCREASING STEM DIVERSITY, SCHOOL TEXTS, ART AND POLICY. THEIR BELIEF IS THAT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS THE POWER TO ENACT LONG-LASTING, INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE THAT WILL BE INSTRUMENTAL IN THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE AND EQUALITY. SCHOOLS NOT ONLY HAVE THE CAPACITY, BUT ALSO THE OBLIGATION TO EDUCATE STUDENTS ABOUT RACE, RACISM AND ANTI-RACISM THROUGH THE RIGHT BOOKS AND CURRICULUM. 

WE COULDN’T. AGREE. MORE. 

THAT’S WHY FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, 1% OF ALL NET PROCEEDS FROM RASTACLAT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SEEK THE POSITIVE FOUNDATION WILL BE DONATED TO DIVERSIFY OUR NARRATIVE. EQUALITY IS ONE OF THE KEY PILLARS OF THE SEEK THE POSITIVE FOUNDATION, AND WE SEE IT AS ESSENTIAL IN THE JOURNEY OF HUMANKIND. EVERYONE DESERVES THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES, REGARDLESS OF RACE, GENDER, SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, DISABILITY OR IDENTITY, SO WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THEIR VISION.  OUR GOAL IS TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE 100,000 SIGNATURES FOR THEIR PETITION. LET’S HELP THEM GET THERE AND BE THE CHANGE WE WISH TO SEE..
