Bridgett, Parent Engagement Institute Organizer w/ @LSNAChicago, was a parent who helped craft the #TrustLearningCare platform for how Chicago should spend the billions from the fed. If we have the money, why can’t we do what LA is doing?
FOR ANY PARENTS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CPS STUDENTS WONDERING HOW THEY CAN TAKE ACTION ON FRIDAY PLEASE DM US SO WE CAN COORDINATE LOGISTICS AND OPTIONS WITH YOU ALL, thank you.
@ CPS students ⬇️⬇️⬇️ January 14th 12:30pm
chicago’s students are glad to announce that we will be walking out of our schools friday, january 14th at 12:30pm. we stand with ourselves, our own safety, our own health. we keep us safe, we keep us loved. please stay in tune with our social medias for more updates!
check out the demands created by @chiradsCPS ⬇️
a thread!!! 1/3chicago public school’s radical youth alliance has come forth with a list of demands that we believe is the bare minimum of things that @ChiPubSchools leadership can implement in response to the crises we have seen in our communities.
The data's been known for a whileeeee. We FOIA'd data for police notifications involving students with IEPs from 2011- 2018. Read our report for the facts: bit.ly/copsoutcps
New video of girl beaten by her resource officers at school data shows kids with IEP 3 times more likely to get police called on them @CBSEveningNews @CBSMornings @cbschicago chicago.cbslocal.com/as-many-chicag…
From us: We fight until we win #CopsOutCPS. copsoutcps.com/2021/09/29/stu…
We’re so so sorry. Sending all of our love your way 💞 Please support their fam right now ⬇️
Classes have started again and our weekly meetings are back. Come join this ~youth only~ space virtually this Friday at 5pm and talk about the campaign, the beginning of the school year, and get to know other CPS students!
@StuStrikeBack @chicagosmayor CPS schools need rapid covid test on site at every location ain’t no way 7 students should be sent home by 9am and school starts at 815. Test em the kids the staff everybody..
From the beginning, #CopsOutCPS always said that CPS had the power to remove police completely from schools. Instead CPS pushed their responsibility onto LSCs. Yet now they are choosing to negotiate with CPD. Now get these cops out of our schools.
24 CPS high schools voted to remove one police officer from campus. The cops are coming anyway. buff.ly/2UO1CTV
Folks are clear that CPS must use these funds to create support networks for undocumented students and students in temporary living, invest in transformative justice practitioners, cash assistance for families, and technology access for all. #CopsOutCPS
CPS is set to receive $1.8 BILLION in federal dollars. We know that CPS has a track record of being shady with their money from back door deals to approving contracts with cops. It’s time for Chicago Public Schools to listen to youth on how these funds be invested. #CopsOutCPS
This is huge! Major props to all the students, youth-led orgs, and community members who made this happen! #CopsOutCPS #Chicago #ChicagoPublicSchools #StudentsStrikeBack #BLMChi @StuStrikeBack 👏 chicago.suntimes.com/education/2021…
organizing works.
More than 30 Chicago high schools will pursue alternatives to police next year in what many advocates are calling a "huge win" for the police-free schools movement. In this piece, I explore what those alternatives will look like. Go check it out. injusticewatch.org/news/2021/more…
Thanks @_KellyGarcia__ for this article! Special S/O to all the beautiful youth organizers who were fighting to keep our schools open when Rahm closed 50+ schools & now youth winning to get #CopsOutCPS #PoliceFreeSchools .@AssataDaughters @StuStrikeBack injusticewatch.org/news/2021/more…
A lot of folks have been taking time to heal from last year so we’ve been quiet. This campaign has been years in the making. This news is HUGE.
Of the 50 that still had them this year: 7 more voted to remove both. Another 24 voted to remove one and keep the other
