Education and community should never be in conflict. Inclusion ends stigma, ends animosity. And encourages community and oneness.

“Adda happens on Eid - As a Hindu, I still celebrate Eid’er Adda with my friends. It’s the one time of year where Bengali Muslims and Hindus alike celebrate in conjunction.” - Mrittika Sarkar, Cass Technical High School 🧵
As one of the most diverse school districts in the nation, DPSCD should do everything in their power to make sure they cater to every student. Bringing Eid back on the calendar is one step closer to inclusion and equity for EVERYONE!
Please sign our petition and share it with your friends, family and colleagues to show that Detroiters of all backgrounds support this initiative.
