There’s no evidence School Resource Officers (SROs) make students or staff safer, but schools w/ SROs have more arrests & more expulsions than schools w/o SROs. It doesn't have to be this way. Help us get cops out of schools this session: bit.ly/3WHhToB #carenotcops
You can officially consider this an ABWF Stan account. We opened our new offices downtown New Haven in November. If you’re seeking fiscal sponsorship, know that you can come co-work in our space. We have laptops and headphones so you can work from wherever is comfortable.
A new film, by Atl natives Logan Lynette Burroughs & @YesAurielle, celebrates #Juneteenth & the launch of GRO Fund’s In Her Hands #guaranteedincome project. The film commemorates the resilience and boundless future of #Atl’s Old 4th Ward neighborhood. Watch here:
In Her Hands will provide a guaranteed income of $850/month for two years. We’re focused on Black women in three communities in Georgia. #Atlanta’s O4W is our first site of three. Applications are open now until May 15th! Check out: InHerHands.us
We’re live! Nearly, 60 years after #MLK called for a guaranteed income, @theGROfund is launching In Her Hands GI initiative in his childhood neighborhood, #Atlanta’s O4W. While helped legacy drive us, the hope & determination of the O4W community members today made this possible.
LGBTQ community members and activists commended Hartford Public Schools officials for the district’s handling of a personnel matter involving a school nurse placed on administrative leave for online comments about LGBTQ students trib.al/gDJ8BIk

@LauraRbnsn The same type of training has been used for racism. Poor white people are made to feel extremely inferior to wealthy white people, but are also taught they’re far better than people of color and esp. Black folks. So often, poor whites are the biggest cheerleaders for racism.

Thank you @CTDems - honored to be your nominee for State Comptroller!
Here's a VERY short list of what's included: · over $100 million 4 #childcare · ⬆️in #SpecialEducation 💵 · ⬆️in #PTC (max $300/filer) · $223 million 4 children’s #mentalhealth resources (over 2 yrs) · ⬆️in CT #EITC to 41.5% · an historic $250-per-child (max of 3 👶) CT #CTC 2/3
JUST IN: the #CT Legislature has passed a FY 23 budget adjustment that provides unprecedented support to the state's families! THANK YOU to the legislators who stood their ground & our amazing partners who advocated tirelessly to make this happen—we are so grateful for you. 🧵1/3
I grew up in a house that lived check to check Right now people & families are struggling due to inflation State government can't fix that but we can help Last night we passed a new budget that does that by cutting taxes & keeping more money in the pockets of the middle class
We’re live! Nearly, 60 years after #MLK called for a guaranteed income, @theGROfund is launching In Her Hands GI initiative in his childhood neighborhood, #Atlanta’s O4W. While helped legacy drive us, the hope & determination of the O4W community members today made this possible.
