Scholarship Fund for KHS Protestors

On March 14th students from Kingston High School participated in the National School Walk Out. Many students participated in an in-school hallway protest but some of those students also walked out of the building for a student organized walk out to protest gun violence.

Those students are now being punished with in school suspension.  The history of punishing peaceful protest in our country is storied and these students are learning that lesson the hard way. As civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis puts it "sometimes you have to get in trouble -- good trouble, necessary trouble -- to make a way out of no way."

That is why we are starting this fund, not to reward misbehavior but to reward good trouble. This generation is standing up for what they believe and we owe it to them to let them know that we believe in them.

All monies raised will go toward a scholarship program for those students who participated and who apply for funds.
