Monday, 4/13, marked another in person EFJP meeting! Our fellows were assigned different roles and learned more about the school to prison pipeline. They were able to describe the problem, explain its impact and brainstorm solutions through group presentations.

Renters in the City of Rockville are exempted from Montgomery County's new rent stabilization law 😢

BUT the Rockville City Council can pass an even stronger bill!

Join a canvass this Saturday to talk to Rockville renters about rent stabilization.

Thanks for having us!

[Montgomery County DSA @MoCo_DSA]

Thank you to @ypforprogress for coming to our February branch meeting to talk about banning consent searches in MoCo & restorative justice in MCPS.

We also heard from candidates for branch steering and got updates on rent stabilization regulations and Palestine organizing.

[Montgomery County DSA @MoCo_DSA]

Last year, thanks to tenants & organizers, @MoCoCouncilMD passed a historic law to limit rent increases and fees.

Now, the County Council must approve regulations to enforce rent stabilization.

We were a cold but determined group outside of the MoCo Circuit Court yesterday, joining with our partners at the @ACLU_MD, @MDPoliceReform, @ypforprogress, @CASAforall, Delegate @GabrielAcevero and Councilmember @KristinMink_ to demand transparency in policing 1/2

[Racial Justice NOW! 👦🏾👧🏾 @RacialJsticeNow]

We need deep investments in our youth, not more policing & incarceration of our youth.

We need #CareNotCops join us in advocating for these demands.

Missed our teach-ins this month? We will have one more teach-in next month about both restorative justice in MCPS and consent searches. This teach-in will be held on Tuesday, January 9th at 6:30 PM. Shoot us a DM for the link :)

[Young People for Progress @ypforprogress]

Last week, we had our final YPP teach-in of the year: “Community Control of the Police and the Environment.” Each speaker inspired us to take action in our communities; our only path to victory is through the power of the people!

Petros Bein, a YPP member, explained basic Marxist terms to the group. By analyzing our issues through the lens of class conflict and anti-capitalism, we will be able to approach each of our problems in a more consistent way.
