"Secular social Justice was a prime example of the segment of the atheist movement that is worth supporting, that is worth hanging onto, that is worth finding out more about." - @steve_shives youtu.be/HQpLo3JdAeo

Lots of discussion about how to help people involved in Direct Action if you can't do it yourself. Diane Burkeholder's answer: Print flyers and think about what supplies they need.
All of us can contribute! #SSJCon

Black kids are 9 times more likely to be suspended in preschool. Systemic discrimination. Learning so much at #ssjcon
What can someone do to help break the school-to-prison pipeline? Find tools at savethekidsgroup.org. #SSJCon
Candace Gorham helping us understand the school-to-prison pipeline. In the 2009-2010 school year, Black and Latino students accounted for 70% of arrests and police referrals in schools.

Gorham recounts many cases where a black youth commits a minor offense, which leads to probation, and then a cascading increase in legal encounters, because normal behavior becomes a probation violation. White students have similar conduct downgraded or diverted. #SSJCon

Candace Gorham @EbonyExodus speaks to #SSJCon about the School to Prison Pipeline. Black students receive inferior education yielding lower proficiency at all grade levels. They receive disproportionately harsh discipline with more suspensions and corporal punishment.
