Advice for parents from Legal insurrection: cultivate relationships with local reporters; make their job easier. Write the articles FOR them. Give them quotes, and 800 words written. Do things by email, so you have a record if they misquote you.1/
Record interviews if it's legal where you live. If not, tell them you're recording. Keep answers short, so they have more trouble misquoting your or taking you out of context. Say what you want to see in print. 2/
Focus on the message: you are for equality, non-discrimination, and you oppose the racialization of education.3/
Find what you're good at, use that to your advantage; what matters is everyone DO something. All hands on deck. CAUTION: BOLO plants, with crazy signs and disinformation. Stay ON MESSAGE. Make sure you self-police! /4
Find people who are good at what you're NOT, cultivate relationships, work together.
Advice from ME: you cannot stay quiet and expect others to save you. DO something, that's what it's going to take. /END
