Make Us Visible's "Written In: Our Stories, Our Schools, Our Movement" Event

Make Us Visible (MUV) is a national nonprofit working to get bills passed throughout the country to make AANHPI history part of school curricula. In Washington state, MUV-WA has been advocating to pass SB 5574 for the past few years. Last year, MUV-WA expanded its efforts to include Latine and Black American history in the bill.

Cultures Connecting is a proud supporter of MUV and has been sharing updates and calls to action with all of you to help get this bill passed. We are also one of the sponsors of their upcoming event, Written In: Our Stories, Our Schools, Our Movement, on Saturday, May 30th from 4:00–6:30pm at ACRS. Senator T'wina Nobles, the bill's sponsor, will serve as the keynote speaker. This event is free and open to the public.

MUV-WA is also holding a free professional development event on AA&NH/PI Representation in the Arts: Building Culturally Responsive Arts Education on May 6th at 4-6pm PT. Visit the MUV workshop schedule to register for this and other workshops. Many of them offer Clock Hours. You can also follow them on Instagram @makeusvisiblewa to get updates.
