Sustaining advocacy when change is slow
In this culminating lesson, students confront the most daunting truth of justice work: it outlasts individuals. Through a letter written across decades and a poem about people who planted trees they would never sit under, students examine what sustains advocates over a lifetime — and begin to write their own advocacy manifestos, connecting the unit themes to their own vision of justice.
