THANK YOU! The schools have these harmful policies and then wonder why kids don't want to go to school. Just welcome the students! Let them know you're glad they showed up! Get cops out of schools! Stop suspensions! Let them be. Just. Let. Them. Be.

This is so awesome! Immediately got a downloadable version upon purchase. Can't wait to read this collection. I am sure we will be sharing with our incarcerated friends! Thank you!

It’s time to pass the #SolutionsNotSuspensions Act to ensure that our students education isnt put at risk from inequitable and ineffective suspensions. This bill requires schools to use proven alternatives to suspensions, which promote accountability but keep our kids in school.

This is fantastic. @joyharjo is a favorite of ours. We use her poem 'Grace' to write about friendship and 'Perhaps the World Ends Here' to write about significant locations for life events. We also work with humans who've been erased - but they ARE HERE

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

"I’m still writing essays, memoirs, books, journalism articles, novels, plays and screenplays. While the writing hasn’t made me rich or famous, it has helped me endure a lengthy prison sentence."

@mackthemuser No, you did not. I am so sorry.

Homeless people in the United States are far more likely to be victims of gruesome violence than to be perpetrators. Yet the widespread demonization of the homeless would lead you to believe the exact opposite. https://t.co/vscJHKVCyv

School to prison pipeline right here

It’s “a huge problem that NYC is choosing to increase the use of punitive & exclusionary approaches,” said Dawn Yuster @AFCNewYork. “We are in the midst of a youth mental health crisis & we know our young people are literally crying out for more support” https://t.co/vIfdRyx5os

@davidminpdx CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

[PRISON WRITES @prisonwrites]

@JMacForFamilies Housing. NOT 'homeless services'. The fact that homeless services is an institution says a lot about the City's acceptance of it. There should be no homeless people in NYC. It is totally unacceptable that we think 'homelessness' is a human condition , it is a social condition.
