MLK Organizing Weekend is an action that recognizes the importance of collaborating with other groups, understanding the roots of organizing in social justice movements, and working outside of our schools. This action is a powerful weekend that brings the experiences and of students in the safer schools movement together with other social justice movements.

Are you a student organizer, a freedom fighter, an activist, or maybe just want to stop all of the hate you see in your school? Then organize an event in your school or community in the spirit of one of the world's greatest leaders! Here are some ideas for you:
