We’re watching tonight's Montgomery Council budget hearing with the MC Defund/Invest Coalition, demanding a just budget that values community support over criminalization. #BudgetVoices2022 #MoCo #JustRecovery

JUFJ's FY22 Budget Priorities shared by @devstavisky: ➡️Licensed Clinical Social Workers in High Schools ➡️Emergency Rental Assistance ➡️Mental Health Crisis Response Teams ➡️Automated Traffic Enforcement ➡️No New Funding for MCPD (including for training and data collection)

Thank you so much for having me! It’s time to invest in our students, not arrest them.

We are calling for the hiring of mental health personnel that can provide accessible therapeutic services to MCPS students including licensed clinical social workers, school psychologists, and school counselors.

We are calling for the current school discipline system to be replaced with a thorough restorative justice model in an effort to transform school culture and address the role of school discipline in perpetuating the school to prison pipeline.

We are calling for the complete elimination of police presence on school campuses, meaning police should not be stationed inside, outside, or immediately around any MCPS school.

Why are we giving MCPD 283 MILLION DOLLARS in Montgomery Council and Montgomery County, MD - County Exec Marc Elrich's 2022 budget (a 1.6 million dollar increase from last year) to allow Montgomery County Department of Police to kill people without even a semblance of transparency??? #releasethebodycam #defundthepolice

We call on you to: 1 - Withdraw 49-21 2 - Hold a public hearing *before* drafting a PAB bill 3 - Introduce a new bill w/ community input!

ICYMI: A daily reminder that we will only win if we organize for it. Schools districts don't want #PoliceFreeSchools so they do everything to sabotage it. We won't have it. B.O.P.
