What is the Feb 28 economic blackout?

A nationwide economic blackout is being called for on Feb. 28, as a response to the rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives sparked by Trump and his administration.

To support this effort we are offering our Feb. 28 classes at no cost. Our teachers will get paid for their time and will accept your cash donations.

Together we create a sense of belonging and can offer one another the support needed to keep working toward the liberation for all. Join us in loving and joyful community!
