We Stand Together

The Clinton PTA stands in solidarity with Black families impacted by ongoing police brutality and racism on all fronts. We are committed to doing the work necessary to ensure that the lives of our children of color and their families are valued.

We understand that combating racism and white supremacy is multifaceted and complex, and we encourage all families to start by introducing discussions with your children about race.
