As parents, we wanted to create an easy way to find answers. This document is for caregivers, guardians, advocates, educators, school staff, students & anyone in the general public who is interested in fighting for a more just public education system. https://t.co/B6HLST9K1w

[Paullette Healy #EndMayoralControlNow @superha74]

Why we march...CEC17 president Erika Kendall, who co-hosted Fri forum, declared, “These problems impact general education students as well as students with disabilities. Schools in our district are angry. We are tired of the piecemeal approach--we want systemwide solutions!”

Important 🧵 outlining why, post-@NYCCouncil hearing on school reopening, he will push to #RestoreRemote

[Mark Treyger 🍎 @MarkTreyger718]

After yesterday’s oversight hearing on NYC’s school reopening plan, I am more certain that NYC families need a remote option.

A lot to unpack from yesterday’s hearing, but wanted to share key information:

[John C. Liu @LiuNewYork]

Parents are calling for a remote option for school and it’s time @NYCSchools provided one. Many families don’t feel safe sending their kids to physical school right now. The stubborn lack of receptiveness to legitimate safety concerns raises questions about mayoral control.

[@EquityEdD20 @EquityEdD20]

#WhenAudreLordeQuotesAttack #WhoseSchoolsOurSchools This is vile. It's why trust is broken betwn communities & schools & why we need anti-racist, community-control. @D15Schools always being heralded as some kind of beacon of #DEI but this is the reality. #UrSilenceWillNotProtectU

[PRESS NYC: Responsive Equitable and Safe Schools @safeschoolsny]

Community Mtg @ExecSuptKWatts organized 4 the students, fams, & @D15Schools comm members of @PS295Brooklyn & @NewVoicesMS443 violated by 3 admins destroying a mural created by 5th graders turned out to be a giant F-U. Fragile folks holding phony mtgs smh #UrSilenceWillNotProtectU

#BlackAugust #FreeThemAll

[PRESS NYC: Responsive Equitable and Safe Schools @safeschoolsny]

Because #BlackAugust is about uplifting Black political prisoners, martyrs & freedom fighters, we are paying special attn to the Panthers incarcerated to this day as a result of #COINTELPRO & a biased legal system.

#PRESSPlayOnBlackAugust #FreeThemAll

[PRESS NYC: Responsive Equitable and Safe Schools @safeschoolsny]

While often demonized by right wing racists as ‘terrorists,’ the Panthers modeled self actualization, community care & collective health w success yet to be replicated, becoming the blueprint for our free breakfast program & a reminder of what is possible #PRESSPlayOnBlackAugust

[PRESS NYC: Responsive Equitable and Safe Schools @safeschoolsny]

As #PRESSPlayOnBlackAugust comes to a close, we have the privilege of sharing quotes directly from some of the most (in)famous abolitionists, political prisoners, health and education justice warriors in US history: the Black Panther Party.

We stand with the students, families, staff, & community of @PS295Brooklyn in @D15Schools. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTransLivesMatter and as #AudreLorde so aptly said, our silence won't protect us, we need to speak out & make sure the adults who caused this harm r held accountable.

[@breakthesilencenyc #EndMayoralControl @breaksilencenyc]

Repulsive @NYCSchools allowed this. What happened to #StudentVoice ? What happened to ‘respect for all?’ Kids standing for Black Trans Lives & calling out white silence deserve support not erasure. The adults need to be held accountable. We stand w student artists@ @PS295Brooklyn

[@EquityEdD20 @EquityEdD20]

Stop privatizing our public goods. Period. #KeepPublicSchoolsPublic

[Derek W. Black @DerekWBlack]

Ohio’s voucher program is a poster child for the problem I outlined in Preferencing Educational Choice. If public education is an absolute constitutional duty, the state can’t put vouchers ahead of pubs, but that is exactly what the OH budget does. 1/x https://t.co/Y7oMulKnz7
