To be clear: the systemic change we need is to #DefundThePolice, esp. in our schools. Kids need #CounselorsNotCops.

Take action: Tell @SenKamalaHarris + other members of Congress to end police militarization & over-policing in our communities & schools.

Know your rights while demanding justice for George Floyd.

Led by the Movement for Black Lives, we are demanding an investment in:
◾️ schools
◾️ communities
◾️ people

Not police.

[ACLU @ACLU]

It's time for a bold reimagining of the role that police play in our society.

That's why we join in solidarity with @Mvmnt4BlkLives in calling for a divestment from police, and reinvestment in communities targeted by police. https://t.co/DpWNYUUbhA

California must put a moratorium on police and sheriff transfers to ICE during this pandemic and stop the expansion of ICE's 'death trap' jails @CAgovernor @RobBontaCA @Rendon63rd @kdeleon @SenMariaEDurazo @CALimmigrant @CA4ImmiJustice @ACLU_SoCal https://t.co/42SrssyKxK

After we sued, #Riverside agreed to huge changes to their youth probation program. Now, instead of getting pushed into the #SchoolToPrisonPipeline, youth will be supported by effective community programs.

ALL kids in CA deserve the same — support #AB901! https://t.co/RtgigpHHTw

We just published this report on access to counselors, nurses, psychologists, & social workers in 90,000+ public schools. We found a crisis with 90% of schools failing to meet ratios recommended by experts.
We also reviewed school police & school arrests data. #CounselorNotCops

The Trump administration has yet again attacked civil rights and the promise of equality for all by arguing for the rescission of school discipline guidance meant to ensure all students have the right be free from discrimination in school.

[Ana Najera Mendoza @AnaGracielaNM]

I love my city & want to see everyone who lives here thrive, inc our youngest Angelenos when it comes to their education. Schools need to have the resources they need to support children & these resources need to be equitably distributed so those that need more have more.

I'm ready to vote like my rights depend on it - because they do. Join me and the @ACLU this Tuesday! #ACLUVoter https://t.co/NclsGFqaMV

Yes! And if the poll workers don’t know that you can request a provisional ballot, insist on getting it and stay until they give it to you.

Dean Erwin Chemerinsky joining @sdaclu supporters providing an amazing historical perspective on the #SCOTUS . Over 2,000 law professors have sent a letter to Senate to reject #Kavanaughnomination. We have 2 Choices, give up or fight harder. Fight harder it is !!

In California, students & educators are protected by AB 699 and SB 54, which limit California state agencies - like school districts & charter schools - from sharing information with ICE.

[Melissa Goodman @mg718]

Great article on fabulous work @RuthWDawson, other colleagues and local partners have been doing to ensure OC school districts follow our law
