Description of Event: 

This Student Know Your Rights workshop is presented by attorney Cynthia Mousseau, who did it for us a few weeks ago and was great! 

The Rogue understands that our community needs to arm itself with social justice knowledge, learn how to organize and use a diversity of tactics in order for us to create the type of world we want to live in. We also see how the youth, currently living under school receivership, and now with the appointment of Betsy DeVos to Ed. Secretary, that the fight just got really real (like it wasn't before). To that end we present the youth, in school or not, a workshop that is a critical step in defending your dignity, right to be happy and educated rightly. Come through!
