Protecting Students Who Protest

Texas Appleseed is part of a network of organizations, attorneys, and advocates that support students in Texas who participate in walkouts related to gun violence and school safety or any other form of protest. We hope to provide resources, advice, and other assistance to students whose schools/school districts punish or threaten to punish them for protesting.
