We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to @DignityinSchool for organizing advocates, parents, & activists across the country for the Week of Action Against School Pushout. As the week wraps up, we recommit to building schools that uplift & support every student-not push them out

Schools should be places of hope, belonging & possibility. But millions of students are criminalized through policing & harsh codes. This Oct 18–26, join us in declaring: Education is STILL a Human Right! #EndSchoolPushout #DSCWoA2025
