Criminal justice reform and education justice make up our combined vision for racial justice in New York. It's time we prioritize education, not criminalization of our students and communities. The Schools Not Jails Town Hall will have a panel discussion and then Q&A from attendees.

We can't ignore the school-to-prison pipeline. We can't ignore criminalization of our students and communities. We can't ignore mass incarceration. We must dismantle it. Reforms to expedite the discovery process and protect speedy trial rights have to be coupled with a purposeful investment in education equity. Education Justice requires adequate and equitably distributed funding for our public schools.

We need an end to systemic and institutional racism that continues to oppress.
