Be a part of DC's #PoliceFreeSchools movement by hearing from youth, teachers, community members and leaders about the actual steps we can take towards school safety.

This 🧵. Safety comes from investing in community and equipping schools themselves with the resources and support necessary to prevent harm before it happens.

We can't afford to take a step back on student safety in DC schools. #PoliceFreeSchools is crucial for addressing harm caused by police presence and creating safe learning environments for our city. wtop.com/dc/2023/03/dc-counc…

After the 2018 Parkland shooting a federal judge ruled that the Sherifs office has no legal duty to protect students. We need money for teachers, after school programs, snacks, counselors, NOT police in schools!
Please take action to keeps cops out of schools!

3 years ago, our Director, Carmen Johnson, was the lone court watcher in Prince George's County, Maryland. She showed up to court every day, took careful notes, sent letters. When COVID hit,
Courtwatch PG became the largest virtual court watch program in the country.

Injustice happens in empty courtrooms. But in a growing number of places, people are holding the system accountable by showing up in court. Volunteering to court watch. Documenting what they see.
We’re watching. This powerful short film (scored by Fiona Apple!) tells our story:

We are out here at jail support for #SolidaritySaturdays and as usual, we are witnessing the terror and harm that DCs police department inflicts daily. One person was kept in a cell naked in freezing conditions over night at 6D on Hayes Street. 🧵
