Racism and racial bias puts Black girls at risk of sexual violence. We have to know the realities our girls face so we can start to combat them. #blackgirlfuture
Black children experience excessive discipline as early as preschool for offenses such as disruptive behavior and tantrums, making them 10 times more likely to face discipline, grade retention, and involvement with the criminal system. #blackgirlfuture
In the 2015-2016 school year, Black girls made up 16% of the total female public school population, yet made up 36% of female students who reported being bullied on the basis of race. This needs to change! #blackgirlfuture
The perception that Black girls are “less innocent” can contribute to harsher punishment in school, fewer leadership opportunities, and less support in school. #blackgirlfuture

We will not forget, we will continue to support all our youth of color, hear their voices and support and be part of their communities. We continue to be heartbroken by the racial injustice that takes place in communities of color. To all our youth - we see you! #BLM
Our youth will honor the struggles of all women of color by mobilizing others to vote and when they are eligible casting their own votes to support communities of color. #BLM#GISD
We are committed to fostering a safe environment that bridges gaps between races, cultures and differences and where youth are empowered to speak out against injustice. We can help be part of the change and we will! #BLM#strongsmartandbold#GISD
