@1199SEIU_MDDC @DjawaHall Thank you to @MCPS students @kysontaylor1 from @mcabrutality and @AmariMbongwo from @moco_steps for your powerful testimony tonight! We know that having true community oversight of police is so important for the safety of you and your peers.

HAPPENING NOW: #MoCo hearing on Bill 49-21, which fails to ensure community oversight of policing.

@albornoz_gabe @EvanMGlass @hansriemer @willjawando @Andrew_Friedson @RicePolitics @MC_Council_Katz @nancy_navarro @CmHucker - we urge you to substantially revise the bill!

We laugh and roll our eyes but people like this are why we are still in a pandemic, still dealing with variants, and still seeing 100s of Americans die *every day* from Covid.

[Woody Holton @woodyholtonusc]

The 1619 Project forces us to decide whether we love human equality or the men who articulated that principle but violated it every day. We can't do both.

Come out to our next meeting on Tuesday via zoom! Look out for the meeting info. that will be released soon! #studentadvocacy #edequity

A student's household income should not determine the level of diversity or opportunities at their school.

We'll be hard at work this summer preparing to advocate for boundary changes next year.

Retweet this to spread the word.

Stay tuned, @MCPS.

Thank you @EvanMGlass for your bold leadership in telling your colleagues the time is NOW, during the BUDGET, for police free schools.

[STEPS @moco_steps]

Thank you for your bold leadership @hansriemer in calling for an end to SROs and CROs!

Maryland incarcerates the most young Black men in the entire nation. Police in schools are a direct pipeline. See how organizers across the state are fighting!

[Jews United for Justice @jufj]

‼️ CMs @willjawando and @RicePolitics call for SRO removal + new taskforce for student supports ‼️

Huge s/o to student groups @ypforprogress @moco_steps @mcabrutality @moco4change @sunriseslvrsprg @AA_PSU @_youthforequity @cuahycc for your work on #PoliceFreeSchoolsMoCo! (1/7)

@Laurendpayne_ @darcy_ghost @jufj @willjawando @RicePolitics @ypforprogress @mcabrutality @moco4change @sunriseslvrsprg @AA_PSU @_youthforequity @cuahycc And it’s not like security guards will cease to exist!

[STEPS @moco_steps]

@Laurendpayne_ @darcy_ghost @jufj @willjawando @RicePolitics @ypforprogress @mcabrutality @moco4change @sunriseslvrsprg @AA_PSU @_youthforequity @cuahycc Not to mention, these are incredibly rare instances. MCPD spends just 4% of their time on violent crime. That being said, why are we wasting $3 million to have SROs sit in the building and disparately harm a majority of students?

[averysmed @averysmed]

Defund SROs and replace w/ clinical social workers! SROs DONT REDUCE CRIME and cause disparate harm to the majority of MCPS! #BudgetVoices2022 #moco @CmHucker @albornoz_gabe @willjawando @EvanMGlass @nancy_navarro @RicePolitics @MC_Council_Katz @hansriemer @Andrew_Friedson

[averysmed @averysmed]

Defund police from traffic enforcement! There’s no reason traffic enforcement can’t be automated, especially considering the worst disparities happen in traffic enforcement. Black people make up 18% of the pop. but are 63% of residents searched and cited. #BudgetVoices2022 #moco
