Join CLASP in our next series of virtual conversations focused on healing-centered liberation policy.
The decriminalize education and police-free school movement did not start this year. This movement has existed for decades. For our young people to feel safe, thrive, and succeed in education, we must remove police from schools and provide more holistic supports. This includes restorative practices, mental health supports, wraparound services, and eliminating punitive and carceral discipline practices.
Criminalization to Healing: Reimagining Safety in Schools
November 12th at 3 pm ET
This conversation includes educators and advocates who are reimagining safety in schools through holistic approaches, including mental health supports, restorative practices, wellness, and the community school model. Panelists include:

During part one of this conversation, “Criminalization to Healing: The Movement to Decriminalize Education,” we heard from young people firsthand about how they experienced criminalization in their schools and how they have been actively combatting this injustice. This powerful, robust conversation demonstrated that Police-Free Schools are possible.
