Students from Packer Collegiate Institute are the ones organizing the walkout.

Of course not. This event is available to all students from the NYC who are interested.

Definetely participate in whatever event your school is hosting first. However, if your school is only doing a 17 minute protest and you want to take part in a large, organized protest then come to Borough Hall. We will be at Borough for 2 hours so come anytime between 10:00am and 12:00pm on March 14th.

We suggest that you talk one-on-one with your adminstration about their decision. If that doesn't work you can still help by following us on social media, including Facebook and Instagram.

YES! We have spoken with Packer administration and they have said that they are okay with students leaving school for multiple hours. Packer fully supports that actions of the students, they just can't help plan the event. Also Packer has now cancelled all A and B Band classes for the high school students.

No, the protest is not mandatory and is entirely optional because we want to be respectful of all political views. However, we strongly encourage Packer students to participate as it is a great opportunity to exercise your voice and truly take action on an issue.

Absolutely! The Brooklyn Walkout is entirely run by students at Packer Collegiate Institute.
