It's been 8 years, and today, our state bill is having its first hearing in front of the NYS Senate Edu committee members. Our youth are showing up powerfully to ensure their voices are being heard!
#PassSolutionsNotSuspensions Now!
Tnx @SenatorRJackson for pushing this bill.
Youth Leader Elijah shares his story and his call for NYS legislators to pass the #solutionsnotsuspensions bill. The time is now!

Youth leader Niyo testified at today's Edication hearing calling on @NYCCouncil to freeze the hiring of school cops and eliminate over 600 school cop vacant positions and to reinvest those funds into college and career support services in schools!

👏🏽👏🏽 Kate @DSC_NY director, sets the record straight, "this current admin is not committed to RJ. There are 900 schools that fall under the DOE’s RJ work, but only apx 13 RJ coordinators...RJ has never been fully funded!"
Glad to have Bronx Rep. @Chantelj79 supporting the #solutionsnotsuspensions Act. This is the year to pass this bill!
Youth leader Elijah shared a powerful testimony calling for NYS to pass the #solutionsnotsuspensions Act NOW.
"We need to move away from suspending students because suspensions cause harm to everyone in the situation!"
Today we join many across NYS calling for state elected officials to pass the #solutionsnotsuspensions
