Denver, Colorado "Padres & Jóvenes Unidos has opened up opportunities for me. They have helped me to get educated about injustices in our community. They taught me to always fight for justice and to follow my heart. For that reason it’s why I’m now a first generation college student and a leader in my community. I want to inspire others and give back to my community because without the help of my community and PJU I wouldn’t be where I am right now. Please donate today to allow the work to continue and for more students and generations to come!" - Jasmine G. - Jovenes Unidos Alumni

Washington D.C.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley introduced a new bill today aimed at ending discriminatory discipline policies that push students of color out of school at substantially higher rates than white students. She held a press conference in Washington, D.C., announcing the legislation with co-sponsor Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and scholar Monique Morris, the author of "Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools” and filmmaker of documentary of the same title.

Photos from DRUM's Membership Assembly

This Sunday, DRUM held our first full membership assembly in 10 years. The first time we brought together members from all our bases since we started our formal expansion in Brooklyn, the Bronx, & South Queens.
Over 150 DRUM members gathered at The Peoples Forum to share food, mingle, & enjoy cultural work and performances by DRUM members, representative of the diverse backgrounds & languages in our membership. We celebrated our accomplishments for this past year:
- Fighting off Amazon
- Winning drivers licenses 4 all NYers
- Blocking the citizenship question on 2020 Census
- Elevating importance of investing in communities rather than prisons & jails, a part of the No New Jails fight
- Launch of Institutionalized Bullying campaign & platform
- Successful work by West Queens, South Queens, & Brooklyn Gender Justice committees in community engagement & agitation around gender, confronting violence and policing, building safety, and organizing. The W. QNs GJ commte performed natoks (plays)

We had a Young Peoples Liberation Zone, where young people engaged in conversations of what justice means, do screen printing, & play games.
We looked ahead to to 2020 to prepare for the Supreme Court decision on DACA and its aftermath, the importance of Census 2020, & the the celebration of DRUM ’s 20th anniversary and a Gala
We made 2 key announcements:
1. Announced the decision to build out an electoral arm of DRUM after a 6 months process of discussion, debate, & study to understand both the strategic importance of such forms of power, as well as the limits & traps.
2. Shared a first draft of a DRUM membership handbook (in English, Punjabi, Nepali, Bangla, & Urdu) which also came out of a 4 month process of strengthening membership & building alignment on what it means to be a member of DRUM.
Much love appreciation for DRUM members, organizers, and to all the volunteers who came through and supported to make this a collective and community event.

Thank you to the staff at The Peoples Forum
Thank you to Victor Otero and @jm.lens for the photographs

Resource Highlight: We are thrilled to have read and used this incredible resource! We share it with you here on our platform to amplify the work and stories of our Indigenous sisters and brothers, and spread knowledge so that we may all raise our consciousness.⁣
⁣
“This booklet is designed to give teachers a place to begin when designing their lessons for Thanksgiving. It is written from a perspective of the Indigenous people of our country. We want to acknowledge and recognize the Wampanoag People for being forgotten in the Thanksgiving story for so many years in our country’s education system. We hope that teachers near and far use this booklet as a jumping off point to stir their soul, creativity and skills to teach ALL children the truth about Thanksgiving.”⁣
-Dr. Star Yellowfish, Keetoowah Cherokee ⁣
