Support for Shawn Redden

Like many of you, I have had the pleasure of having Shawn Redden as a teacher during my time at Riverdale.   He was passionate, intuitive, and engaging during our sessions. Shawn has a loving wife, a beautiful, young daughter, and a second child on the way, and they need our support. At the end of the 2017-18 school year,  Shawn was dismissed from Riverdale for expressing his ideas on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He is currently unemployed, in need of support from his community. Regardless of what political affiliations we all have, people should not be ostracized for their beliefs, and a father should be able to support his family at all times, that much we can all agree upon. 100% of the money raised in this campaign will be given to the Redden family to help cover their living expenses for the summer. No amount is too small.  Anything you give will be greatly appreciated. Please share this with anyone who you believe can provide support!
