Please sign our petition with @publicadvocates @cdfca @TALB_teachers @ACLU_SoCal for @LongbeachUSD to invest in and reimagine school counseling in the district. We're almost at our goal of 500 signatures! https://t.co/t2Hb9smUnZ

Terrific article by @TaraGarciaM highlighting the problem of school districts hiding expulsions through "transfers," and its impact on families of color.

Appreciate seeing progress made with LCFF, but there's still much work to be done to fully deliver on its promise of equity and transparency for underserved communities. Let's keep pushing for meaningful change and continue improving the system.

NEW REPORT: Ten years since CA adopted LCFF, @publicadvocates @ACLU_SoCal finds that despite some progress made, serious problems persist. Among them, 85% of school districts received feedback that LCAP engagement is inaccessible.

Wrote an op-ed with @DrKnuckyEsq @ACLU_SoCal in the @thelasentinel about the student fentanyl epidemic and the need to address it as a public health crisis rather than as another tragic chapter in the harmful and useless "war on drugs"

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is the deep partnershp btween @gentepomona @publicadvocates @ACLU_SoCal. It's always a privilege to build power among youth and parents in Pomona. Together, we will end institutional violence against the community!

I wrote an article describing how working for a non-profit changed my career and encouraging lawyers to do pro bono work with orgs like @ACLU_SoCal!

Please reach out if you'd like to learn how to get more involved -- I promise you it's worth it!

The time for outdated zero tolerance policies in schools is over. Stop criminalizing our youth and give educators discretion! Pass #SB1273!

Ed funds on church groups, shell corporations, useless tech, etc. Deep and important reporting by @robertianlewis @jjshong5 about how schools spent billions in COVID aid in California and the critical need for more oversight and accountability.
