That's what I thought too.  https://www.womensmarch.com/empower/

I [i]think[/i]it's meant more for HS students, but it says "All", so who knows?

I'm an elementary teacher and won't participate.[/quote]

The Womens March organizers needs to step aside and let these kids take the lead.  High schoolers are planning a walk out, it's by high schoolers and for high schoolers.

This is their moment.[/quote]

Eh, I sort of agree with you but I also think it's wrong to put all this on kids to organize.  They're kids, and they have school work and limited resources (limited money and independent travel).  Organizing is a huge endeavor, let an established group help if they can.  It's not as if we can have only one demonstration -- we should have lots.[/quote]

The Womens March organizers are not helping, they're organizing their own thing.

If they or any other established group wants to help they should be helping with the what the kids are organizing.  Giving advice and supporting their mission and their planned walkout and march.  Not trying to compete with them by organizing separately to further their own agenda.

No one's putting this "all this on the kids", have you heard their stories?  They want this and they need this- It's part of their healing process and their own self-empowerment.  We should be helping and supporting THEM.
