In the Fall of 2017, we launched a new Educator Grants program to support projects that promote affirming school climates and educate youth to thrive in a diverse democracy. This edition of The Moment features creative grant-funded projects from educators like you who care about equity and culturally responsive teaching. You'll also find pointers on how to apply for your own grant. Stay tuned for more news about grants for projects supporting civic and democratic engagement!

The Summer issue of Teaching Tolerance is available online! In addition to these stories, this issue highlights expert voices on teaching about American slavery and Reconstruction, asks three young gun violence activists about the future of the resistance, and much, much more. It also features one of our all-time favorite One World posters (available in both English and Spanish!).

Our Diverse Democracy Grants offers awards of $500 to $10,000 to fund projects for educators helping their students to become lifelong voters and empowered voting advocates in their communities.
