A policing program in New Jersey, created after the killing of George Floyd in 2020, was meant to better address the mental health needs of people in crisis and reduce the risk of police encounters ending in violence. Now it is expanding in the state. https://t.co/bywXKydUxI

Staying in the field of education right now takes strength, and so does leaving.

We need to continue to support our educators. They aren’t superheroes. They are humans who should be acknowledged for how hard this is and how amazing they’re doing.
