For Day 4 of the WE ARE ACTIVISTS Summer Camp, we honored the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

We talked explicitly about some of the systems in our community. We discussed how systems help and how they sometimes harm our community. We focused on the school-to-prison pipeline and alternatives to suspension/expulsions. Our mentor text for the day was “Until Someone Listens: A Story About Borders, Family, and One Girl’s Mission“ by @estelajuarezauthor, where we discussed immigration rights and activism. #nohumanisillegal We also took a field trip to @nashermuseum where our campers analyzed and asked thought provoking questions about the beautiful art exhibits! They LOVED it! Shoutout to Rakan for his patience and for making the experience fun for the campers! #weareACTIVISTS2026 #antiracismsummercamp #raceconscious consciouskids socialjusticesummer
