Every student deserves a classroom where their rights are respected—no exceptions. Our Back to School campaign is about making sure young people know their rights and have the tools to defend them: free speech, religious freedom, immigrant rights, and protection from discrimination. When schools try to silence or exclude even one student, it threatens the rights of us all. Protecting your rights means protecting everyone’s rights in the classroom—and we’re here to make sure that happens.

Language access is essential to our rights. Everyone deserves dignity, respect, and equitable treatment, regardless of their ability to speak, read, write, or understand English.
