Walk Out 2 Learn takes action on Friday, April 21.
On Friday, April 21, hundreds of high school and college students throughout Florida are walking out of classrooms to protest Governor Ron DeSantis and his education policies.
The 24-hour action, dubbed Walk Out 2 Learn, calls for students to walk out of their schools, register to vote , take part in a brief lesson on banned policies, and enroll in a virtual, college-level course in African American history. Rallies and speeches are also scheduled across the Sunshine State, from Jacksonville and Orlando to Sarasota and Miami.
Friday’s movement is a crucial step in building and achieving short-term goals that will hopefully lead to long-term results, Walk Out 2 Learn says. “While we may not be able to stop bills from becoming law today, we can build collective power, share resources, insulate our communities, and continue to resist so that we can work to reclaim our state in the coming years,” SEE Executive Director and Founder
