The path of oppression comes from a long line of colonialism. One will even walk without shoes to escape from it Welcoming migrants meant Africans, indigenous tribal members and it meant Latin America. This is about displacement, wars and political warfare.

The mutual aid community in DC has shown the international community how to welcome displaced folks with dignity and kindness. We've Done A Lot In The Past Year. We attended Mayor Bowser's birthday party! Celebrated Halloween. Testified in front of council.

One year ago today, Gov Abbott sent the first bus of migrants from Texas to DC. In response, the DC community welcomed folks with dignity & formed the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network (MSMAN). We are still going strong today!🧵

2. That you don't care about school push out and ending the school to prison pipeline and 3. You are more worried about policing our young people than actually keeping them safe. "

Lead Organzier & DC Public Charter School graduates, Ceon shared, "Choosing to [put police back in schools] is irresponsible and says 1. You don't care about the harm Black, brown, and youth with disabilities are experiencing at the hands of police.

Young person, after young person, talked about the trauma, harassment, fear that is experienced due to the presence of school police. Why are you willing to gamble with the emotional and physical safety of Black youth?
PeaceHDC retweeted
A few suggested that police in schools would never cause harm to a child. All while this news was quietly released. @CMBrookePinto this is NOT a matter of "training". Maria from @adv_project testified, "Police in schools IS the violence." This is a prime example of that.

We spent all day at MPD hearing yesterday, MOST witnesses were clear that they did NOT want police in schools for these exact reasons. Some you can see were struggling with whether it should be police or others supporting schools with safety concerns.

🧵First- we hope that the two Black 3rd GRADERS and their peers receive the mental & emotional support they need to start healing from this violent, avoidable act. Second- Police do NOT belong in schools!
Students from Patterson Elementary School in D.C. went home with a letter on Friday after a third grader says a police officer grabbed him by the neck and slammed him on a desk.

People over property
Debo life mattered
Police interactions lead to violence and death. Debo was sleep and then killed by Park Police behind a non violent allege crime. #policegunviolenceisviolence #StopGunViolence #BlackLivesMatter @HarrietsDreams @Defund_MPD @DMVBlackLives

.@MayorBowser @DCPoliceDept 17 year old Dalaneo Martin was killed by Park Police this morning. The City took his lifeless body away as a John Doe while his mother and family cried screamed & beg to identify him. Debo is a person that was treated like property. #BlacklivesMatter
PeaceHDC retweeted
The character assassination will be in full force soon since it was police gun violence that took Debo’s life. They will dehumanize him in order to distract the public from the facts and convince us he deserved to die incident or not.
But THIS is Debo and his 5 month old son. – at Washington, DC
We need 100 free copies of @deanspade mutual aid book for our newly arrived compás.

YALL🤦🏾♀️ Give it up already! The council had it right the first AND second time they decided to phase out SROs in schools. Reliance of policing for safety is simply ineffective, inefficient and poor policy making that ignores the root causes of violence in our communities.
Along with Council members @trayonwhite, @CMBrookePinto and @ChmnMendelson , I co-introduced the "Safe Schools and Students Amendment Act of 2023." If enacted, this legislation halts and repeals the phase-out of our School Resource Officer (SRO) program. lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislati…
