Mom/Advocate-is there any difference? I believe a radical reimagining of public education is possible & necessary.

@Dreamdefenders and other organizations put so much care into planning for the #CantBanUs action and a big part of prep was necessarily planning for and training us all on keeping ourselves and each other safe from assaults like this.
Keep in mind that @GovRonDeSantis and his staff and police had a few other doors to enter the office at this point. This was an explicit choice and act of aggression.
Join youth from @BlackSwanAcad and @BCPSSUnion tomorrow, May 9th, 6:30-7:30PM as they talk about their shared struggles for #PoliceFreeSchools and dismantling the school to prison pipeline in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. See ⬇️ for more info.
I was there and @stevebousquet is spot on. What appeared to be 100s of police from across law enforcement - including state patrol & 🐠 & wildlife - amassed across the day as we protested peacefully. They didn't show up at the time of arrest. They prepared all day for the moment.
"This was a gross overreaction by law enforcement to an animated group of young people with healthy lungs who sang civil rights songs and voiced frustration over the frightening direction this state is taking."
Join us and our partners from @dcaesj and @BLMAtSchool on Thursday, 5/11 (12pm ET) as we celebrate #TeacherAppreciation by talking with some amazing educators about how we move toward liberatory education possibilities.
