🧵1/12 Those who oppose #policefreeschools seek to move @MontgomeryCoMD backward w/out @MCPS, @mocoboe ever (1) ending all the ways students are policed & (2) investing instead in the kinds of supports students, educators/staff, caregivers deserve. @justschools @DignityinSchool

NOTICE & 40+ orgs sent a letter to the DOE to ban fed funds for school surveillance systems relying on AI-enabled tech for predictive policing. We look forward to working with the Dept. on the Coalition's recommendations @ACLUMN @adv_project @DignityinSchool @EdLibMN1 @EJA_NC

A group of parents in Maryland are documenting discrimination targeting Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, South Asians, and allies who speak up for Palestine. Documenting is a vital way to share community experiences and demand action. Pls read/share widely. medium.com/@MD4localgloba

This horrible seething vitriole was unleashed on protestors here in @MontgomeryCoMD We must not look away. This is why we all must take action to demand #CeasefireNOW

Welcome to Montgomery County, Maryland...My hometown. A group of us gathered to call for an end to the carnage happening in Gaza, an end to the killing of babies...and were met with these counter-protesters #CeasefireNOW Video credit: @LiteraryMouse @MontCoExec @MoCo360Media

NOW: Hundreds of Jewish Americans being arrested at Grand Central Station in what might be the biggest mass civil disobedience that NYC has seen in two decades.

What is astonishing is that so many different people & institutions are sharing concerns, from IG influencers to school superintendents to exec leaders. And how 8/10 times, these statements don't even mention the impact on Palestinian lives. Erasure = Dehumanization.


Jaime Koppel Reposted

Dear school administrators: Please don't send a message to families that centers one community while completely erasing another. (I just got one of these). Palestinian American students go to our schools too & receive support just as Jewish students do. Pls get it right.

This.right.here. @Dreamdefenders and other organizations put so much care into planning for the #CantBanUs action and a big part of prep was necessarily planning for and training us all on keeping ourselves and each other safe from assaults like this.

Keep in mind that @GovRonDeSantis and his staff and police had a few other doors to enter the office at this point. This was an explicit choice and act of aggression.



Appreciate you @AshAshman_SDT and @TPMSPrin_Martin Who would you tag for #MothersWhoTeach

I was there and @stevebousquet is spot on. What appeared to be 100s of police from across law enforcement - including state patrol & 🐠 & wildlife - amassed across the day as we protested peacefully. They didn't show up at the time of arrest. They prepared all day for the moment.

"This was a gross overreaction by law enforcement to an animated group of young people with healthy lungs who sang civil rights songs and voiced frustration over the frightening direction this state is taking."

Florida is ground zero for fascism and the far right's agenda to send us back in time. We urgently need to build a mass movement to stop Ron DeSantis and the slew of fascist politicians on school boards and city councils, in state houses and congress all across the country and…

"Although traditional policy actors often create barriers for historically marginalized educators & youth, community-based, grassroots organizers are doing the work ...to move us closer to schools that are holistically safe, center belonging, & invest deeply in all s's success."
