Most people see a classroom and imagine learning, laughter, and possibility.
Teachers see that too—but we also see something else: the exits we've mapped, the hiding spaces we've secured, and the faces we've promised ourselves we'll protect, no matter what.
We live in two realities at once: teaching fractions while planning escape routes, celebrating breakthroughs as we calculate worst-case scenarios, and showing up with hope yet carrying quiet fear. This is the weight so many educators carry every single day.
And it's exactly why Giving Tuesday matters.
Next Tuesday, December 2nd, we're coming together as a community to expand the prevention programs, training, and support networks that help make classrooms safer before harm ever reaches the door.
But here's the truth: we can't afford to wait until Tuesday to start this work.
Every early gift helps us enter Giving Tuesday with momentum, ready to reach more school communities, train more educators, and prevent more tragedies.
Will you make an early Giving Tuesday gift today?
