#OTD Four years ago, Philando Castile was pulled over for a broken taillight. What should have been a routine traffic stop ended in his death. The officer responsible was acquitted of all charges. This is not a moment, it's a movement. #BlackLivesMatter

Important piece. Black students are disproportionately suspended nationwide and in NY, despite lack of evidence of higher rates of misbehavior. Disproportionality remains highest in NYC. This is the school to prison pipeline in graphs, and it's shocking. #RestorativeJustice
Tons of fascinating data in this report on racial disparities in suspension in NY schools. Via @EdTrustNY s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/e…

Help us find HS student leaders who are working to promote racial equity, mutual respect, and understanding within their schools or communities. Applications open now. Nominate someone!(tinyurl.com/ycbjgo9x) @diverse_schools @RaceForward @RevDrBarber
Educators, we need your help: Take concrete action against hate in schools by telling us what’s happening on the ground. We’ll analyze and report on the data and highlight schools that are responding with courage—part of our ongoing efforts to fight hate. t-t.site/2QAwnHP
