⚠️ Although community organizing can be exciting, we must face harsh realities.
The school-to-prison pipeline is an overlooked issue that persists today.
Watch as YPP members simulate this pipeline scenario and discuss solutions to address & overcome this critical issue.
As we close Day 1, thank you to our YPP members for their enthusiasm & dedication! 🌟
Remember, knowledge is power. Together, we can use what we've learned to make real changes in our community.
