#GivingTuesday: 6 Ways to Help Us

We have raised $21,040.73 through donations since the election. Thank you to all our new and continuing supporters!

Before we move into 2017 we need another $58,959.27 to continue our work in these difficult times. Now more than ever people are looking to Rethinking Schools.

The week Trump was elected, we received emails from Rethinking Schools supporters across the country. These were summed up in a warm note from Tedra Matthews Redhorse of San Francisco: “I look to you when I am lost. Your good work is a light in the darkness.”

Our magazine and books inspire and teach, but we know we need to reach thousands more teachers and activists in the months ahead.

Please help Rethinking Schools in whatever ways you can. As a non-profit organization, Rethinking Schools relies on the support of our community to publish our magazine and books at affordable prices for those who need our inspiration and analysis of issues affecting our students.

“We said good-bye to an old friend this week. We bought our Subaru wagon in 1996 and for over 20 yeas it served our family well. As the business manager at Rethinking Schools, it also served Rethinking Schools well. I picked up editors at the airport for our national meetings here in Milwaukee. Hauled food for meetings and fundraisers. Overloaded with boxes of books and magazines, it took us to conferences in Chicago, Madison, and Minneapolis. The engine was still running great, but a rusting body held together with bumper stickers, and a leaking gas tank and failing brakes, spelled the end of the road.” ~Mike Trokan, retired Rethinking Schools business manager
