What students were asked to do in July 2020

The release dated 1 July 2020 described a month of local and online activity around the campaign’s principles. It proposed three routes: support local protests and legislation; circulate information and resources on social media; and hold online events centring students affected by educational inequity.

It named Student Voice, Youth Activism Project, Our Turn and UrbEd Advocates among the youth-driven organisations, and the Aspen Institute Education & Society Program and Youth Service America among supporters. It also described a sign-on route for individuals to receive daily action updates.

One concrete example came from Student Voice participant Maodan Tohouri, who discussed joining student-led town halls in Pleasanton. The statement also connected the effort with research, legislative work, storytelling and meetings with decision-makers through the Prichard Committee Student Voice Team’s contribution.

The headline’s participation figure was the organisers’ claim. This release is an invitation and statement of intended activity, not a verified daily calendar or an evaluation of results. Read the ten principles and the curriculum town-hall advisory for related records.
