Registration open for Education for Liberation 2026 Conference!

[Tag Philly]

Hello educators!  

Happy belated Lunar New Year, and Ramadan Mubarak!  We hope everyone is finding joy in their celebrations this week as we thaw out from the deep freeze and the snow. We are writing to officially announce that registration for TAG's spring conference is now open!

REGISTER HERE for EDUCATION FOR LIBERATION 2026: ALL HANDS ON DECK!

What is the conference? The TAG conference is an opportunity for educators to build our community, to share and learn from each other's justice-oriented work, and to deepen our capacity for organizing.  In this moment of converging political crises, we know we need all hands on deck to organize to defend public schools in Philadelphia, and justice for young people and their families in their schools and communities! 

Who is the conference for? Education for Liberation is for educators and allies -- families, students, community members -- who are invested in and care about the conditions of our school system and the rights and liberation of everyone inside it! 

When is the conference? Saturday April 18, 2026, 9am-2pm

Where is the conference? To be announced! We are exploring options for an accessible, welcoming, comfortable space to host this year's conference, if you have a lead on the perfect space, please reply to this email and let us know. 

Want to be part of making this year's conference happen?  You can!  Our call for workshop proposals, displays of student work and conference volunteers is still open!  TAG seeks interactive, engaging workshops that invite participants to further their own political education, develop humanistic curriculum, sharpen liberatory classroom practices, connect their work to community organizing and build power as educators. The workshop sessions are 70 minutes.  We are also excited to display samples of student work that show off educator and student creativity, agency and power. Finally, we welcome volunteers to help with conference planning and logistics -- to volunteer, fill out the registration and be sure to mark yes on the last question. 

In solidarity,
TAG
