The Gwinnett County School Board approved the use of 96 SROs throughout their schools for the 2019-20 school year. SROs, who Police Chief Wayne Rikard says have access to batons, tasers, and handguns, reside in the same building with students from elementary school to high. Why is this level of force needed for students?
Make yourself aware of the issues locally so that you can understand and fight the encompassing issue federally

This #SFUSD resolution is an important step in ending the policing of Black students in #SF. However, our work will most definitely continue beyond this resolution, as will the fight to protect our Black children & end criminalization at school. #defundSFPD #fundBlackyouth #defendBlacklives #policefreeschools
