Thank you so much for your support of Stay Woke. The Juneteenth Celebration to Make Black Lives Matter was truly a success. The restorative power from the overwhelmingly positive collective energy of active participants, community supporters, and local businesses is encouraging for our next steps.
The River Ridge High School Black Student Union along with other local student-led groups believe that we must be strategic in our next steps in order to make real and measurable changes. Although events like the Juneteenth Celebration are necessary to coalesce supporters, we feel at this time that our efforts and energy must be focused on changing anti-Black policies and practices at the school and district levels.
Thank you for emailing Superintendent Clemens to get us on the July 14th School Board meeting agenda. We will be presenting our 4-point program at that time as well as pressing North Thurston Public Schools to take a proactive approach that centers the voices of BIPOC students, staff, and community members in dismantling the institutionalized racism that is perpetrated within their walls.
