Mentoring is a holistic process. Using the phenomenological theory of change we work to ensure our process supports whole learning. Julienne Louis master curriculum instructor has worked to implement learning that is individualized to the needs of each mentee.

Come check out how children feel about how they are treated by administrators at their school…
The administration created the environment and of its unhealthy the kids will act accordingly as well

Suspensions in schools disproportionately impact Black and brown students. The inequality of the system toward young people could negatively change the trajectory of their lives. It is time to hold the system accountable for this unfair treatment. #nomoreprisons, #investinkids

AND we don't do enough to protect folks around those issues. Instead we just punish our neighbors for having a hard time. The spirit to help our neighbors we all real proud of? It doesn't show up in our policy environment. Instead our policies are ever more just...mean.

Incredible the amount of people who have reading comprehension issues. We over incarcerate more than anywhere else. This is NOT because people are *born* with a bad character that leads them to jail. Things happen along the way that lead them there (poverty, abuse, education etc) – at New Orleans, LA

TLDR: the owner of @ChickfilA also owns a major movie studio (called “Trilith”) outside of Atlanta where @MarvelStudios has filmed a bunch of recent movies & series.
Both the @ChickfilA owner & the CEO of Trilith are on the Board of Directors for the Atlanta Police Foundation.
So @MarvelStudios films over 50% of their films at Trilith. Meanwhile, it’s increasingly clear that Marvel works closely with the Pentagon to produce propaganda for the U.S. military in exchange for access to expensive & cutting edge military equipment. movieweb.com/marvel-pentagon…

#NOLA's new police chief is off to a great start as NOPD looks to implement drones as a force multiplier – as if a surveillance network of 900+ cameras, the use of facial recognition tech and multiple LPRs wasn't enough.
Email [email protected] and tell them NO DRONES!
@EFF Hello, concerned citizen alerting you to an upcoming town hall on NOPD's use of UAS for domestic surveillance. Would love advice to help bring awareness of the crisis of privacy to this meeting- or if you have local reps in LA, DM me

They already bought the drones & trained 11 officers before they even made a policy or change the law
Last day to get your public comments in for NOPD's proposed policy and use of drones in #NOLA. Have you sent your email in opposition yet???

What are you learning this #BlackAugust about the Black freedom fighters who have fought for liberation and continued a radical tradition of resistance? Listen to what one of our youth members learned during FFLIC’s freedom summer school. #BLM #resist #blackjoy #nomoreprisons

ICYMI! Last year, when the Governor decided to move kids to one of the "Worst adult prisons in America"* advocates and youth justice experts predicted the trauma and harm that would come from the move. Read more here: theappeal.org/angola-prison-…

As the city looks for money to build new jail, they find 11 cents in couch cushions, left over from NOPD firing-range. Plus another $22 million, transferred from parks, playgrounds, and upgrades-repairs for city buildings. @nchrastil @TheLensNOLA

No one cares because it's Black boy's.
But we focus on this demographics because it's necessarily for our survival.
