During this difficult time for the middle and high school students we work with, we hope you will share a message of support: https://bit.ly/UpliftMNUDL

All students have been impacted by federal immigration actions across the Twin Cities metro, with our most vulnerable kids hurting the most.

Schools have been temporarily closed, students have been afraid to attend school, and families are stressed.

Your brief message of support and encouragement means a lot. We want to show our students that there is a community of past and present debaters wishing them well.

If you are a Spanish speaker, and want to share your message in Spanish, we will share with our Spanish debate students.

All messages of support are welcome.

To our debaters:
YOUR VOICE MATTERS.
Even from home.
Especially from home.
We see you. We’re proud of you.

Another way you can help:

Switching our format to virtual debate to ensure our students’ safety has been expensive and logistically difficult. However, we know it’s worth it to ensure we can fulfill our mission of ensuring ALL students have access to debate. Another way you can show support to our students is to make a donation to our programs.
