GRAPHIC POPULAR EDUCATION BOOKLET
“Reclaiming the Schoolhouse: A Visual Guide to What’s at Stake and What’s Possible”
Created from Site of Struggle and Site of Possibility: Schools and Education Justice by Manuel Criollo, Organizing Roots
Public schools aren’t just places of learning they’re among the last public institutions with the potential to shape collective life. They have always been dual sites of indoctrination and exclusion, but also of community resistance and liberation. The current right-wing attacks on education reflect a recognition of its transformative potential, not just reactionary backlash, but fear of community power.
Site of Struggle, Site of Possibility explores how schools are both targets of harm and powerful spaces for resistance. As public education faces attacks from censorship and privatization to the rollback of civil rights, this booklet offers a grounded analysis of what’s at stake and what communities are doing to fight back. It’s a tool to build shared understanding, deepen political clarity, and support organizing that reclaims schools as sites of liberation, not control.
