Protests and rallies continue, keeping the spotlight – and pressure – on, in hopes of inspiring true change. Today, West Seattle High School student Deija Lewis (above) rallied some of her schoolmates to call for “a better future,” including “restorative justice at every school.”
The students listened to speakers. And they drew support from educators:
In opening remarks, Deija embraced the goal of working toward a future “without discrimination and hatred.”
Love the youth voice in action right now. So proud of these young leaders, we need their voices more than ever!
Great to see the young kids involved. Keep up the amazing work. You are our hope and future!
Nice work Deija! Thank you for calling more attention to this issue. – A Gatewood Gator
Nice jobas a parent of a West Seattle High student, wish we’d heard about this beforehand. Would have liked to have been there.
It was mentioned here several times going back to last Friday. Since there’s so much interest, we’re doing the best we can to mention in advance when we get word.
