CJSF mourns with the students, families and staff of the Apalachee High School community. Even as we mourn, we will not be complacent. We must ensure schools are holistically safe for our children and the adults guiding their learning journeys. link.medium.com/sTqwtIKKEMb
Radical hope is now required, and education justice organizers have powerful visions that usher in new possibilities for BIPOC and TQ2S youth, caregivers, and educators. Check out @ManuelaArcLas 1 year anniversary reflections as E.D. at CJSF! medium.com/@justschools/radi…

#JordanNeely should have been on stage, dancing across Broadway instead of the grave where he now lays. Jordan Neely was not killed by one man, he was lynched by our entire system. It was not an "incident", it was a societal choice. 1/4

Keep in mind that @GovRonDeSantis and his staff and police had a few other doors to enter the office at this point. This was an explicit choice and act of aggression.
WATCH: Law enforcement gets aggressive with protestors before arrests were made yesterday at Florida’s Capitol.

Floridians from across the state are occupying Gov Ron DeSantis’s office in an act of civil disobedience, demanding a meeting and singing their version of #ThisJoy at the top of their lungs! Follow @Dreamdefenders for live coverage + jail support. 📹 from our co-founder @NelStamp

Florida is ground zero for fascism and the far right's agenda to send us back in time. We urgently need to build a mass movement to stop Ron DeSantis and the slew of fascist politicians on school boards and city councils, in state houses and congress all across the country and around the world. If you are a young person looking for a political home to fight back and build a new world together, join our membership orientation next week! – at Tallahassee, FL

To be clear #PoliceFreeSchools IS a priority of our org. b/c youth directed it to be. However, youth advocate on numerous issues every year. Check out our Black Youth Agendas to learn more about the most pressing issues, Black youth have identified. blackswanacademy.org/black-y…
Now this is a powerful partnership!
Congrats @JG4Justice and @REELPolicy

This = an active choice to discriminate.
"An internal Dept of Public Instruction equity analysis conducted in '21 found that DEWS generated false alarms about Black & Hispanic students not graduating on time at a significantly greater rate than it did for White classmates."
