Police violence is a good example. There is no gangs matrix without the war on terror. There is no police violence in schools without police violence on the streets.
Feels like a sad but fitting time to be launching our #radicalsafeguardingworkbook#ChildQ's story shows us how urgently we need alternatives to the 'safeguarding' cultures/practices in schools that criminalise/harm Black + brown children

Here are some practical things you can do if you see someone stopped by the police:
🌷Check in with them, remind them you are there by them
🌷Film the police, and share the information with the individual! It is useful
🌷Stay with them until they feel safe enough to leave
🚨 NO POLICE IN SCHOOLS 🚨
Thank you to Manchester for showing up! We stood in solidarity with Child Q and said #NoPoliceInSchools and abolition in our lifetime 🔥
Thanks to our speakers from Kids of Colour, @npolicemonitor, @KillTheBillMcr and @NExclusions.
Now's the time to SHOW UP and say #NoPoliceInSchools.
We send our love to #ChildQ and all the other kids strip-searched by police forces nationally, including the 9000+ kids strip-searched over the last 5 years in London alone.
🚨 PETITION JUST LAUNCHED 🚨
"Students need support and protection, not suspicion and strip searches."
Please share and sign this national petition calling for no police in schools, just launched.

When young people smell of/consume weed I explore it, engage in informative discussion, developing critical and informed thinking and decision making, offer information advice and guidance around support services.
My role is not enforcement.
My role is support not suspicion.
"As these movements continue to grow, we hope more and more will join us in imagining brighter futures for our young people."
Join the demos tomorrow.
