FOT Youth Leader Nejla shared her frustration with school cops “seeing this makes me feel extremely disappointed, stressed and unsafe… they often abuse their authority, using it to intimidate and to gain what they think is respect, but I call it fear”

Solutions not Suspensions Rally Albany New York

[Robert Jackson @SenatorRJackson]

I joined advocates, parents, & students to rally for "School Solutions Not Suspensions" before a hearing on school discipline policies.

Current suspension policies harm many students. My bill aims to end this by prioritizing restorative approaches.

Let's get it done!

[Sistas&BrothasUnited @SBU_POWER]

It's been 8 years, and today, our state bill is having its first hearing in front of the NYS Senate Edu committee members. Our youth are showing up powerfully to ensure their voices are being heard!

#PassSolutionsNotSuspensions Now!

Tnx @SenatorRJackson for pushing this bill.

[Sistas&BrothasUnited @SBU_POWER]
