Friend,
I wanted to personally invite you to a discussion about how the drug war has invaded the education system and is harming our youth through surveillance, criminalization, and punishment.
Join us by registering for our Uprooting the Drug War Discussion Series: Education, the Drug War, and the Criminalization of Students, this Wednesday, July 28, from 4:30pm-6pm ET.
From elementary school to college and beyond, consequences for drugs can result in being kicked out of school to being denied financial aid to being arrested which all have disastrous, lasting impacts.
We’re excited to be co-hosting this webinar with Brotherhood Sister Sol. It will bring together advocates, researchers, and directly impacted people to explore the ways in which the drug war has infiltrated the education system and to generate solutions for reform.
The drug war is responsible for the harsh disciplinary policies and increased police presence that have led to the criminalization and punishment of youth in schools and colleges, especially youth of color.
Schools should be safe and caring environments, not vehicles of policing and stigmatization. In order for students to thrive, we must uproot the drug war from the education system.
Don’t forget to register now so you can join the conversation on Wednesday about how the drug war impacts education.
You can also visit our site, listen to our podcast, and take action to help replace law enforcement in schools with supportive services.
And please stay tuned over the coming months for the rest of our Uprooting the Drug War Discussion Series.
