We ready, we coming. Cops DO NOT belong in schools. Period. Police in our schools present a very real danger to our Black students and the only way to solve that is to remove them completely. ➡️➡️ copsoutcps.com/now ⬅️⬅️ #CopsOutCPS #PoliceFreeSchools

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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/educati…

CPS schools remove dozens of cops, shifting $2M from school policing to other student supports

This was the second consecutive year Local School Councils voted on whether to maintain school police programs — but this time they had other options.

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…
