We laugh and roll our eyes but people like this are why we are still in a pandemic, still dealing with variants, and still seeing 100s of Americans die *every day* from Covid.

The 1619 Project forces us to decide whether we love human equality or the men who articulated that principle but violated it every day. We can't do both.

Interesting news this a.m.: In announcing the creation of a new task force to determine what social-emotional supports MCPS students need, Council Member Craig Rice says he no longer supports having SROs in schools. Rice has been a strong supporter of the program in recent years

Defund SROs and replace w/ clinical social workers! SROs DONT REDUCE CRIME and cause disparate harm to the majority of MCPS! #BudgetVoices2022 #moco @CmHucker @albornoz_gabe @willjawando @EvanMGlass @nancy_navarro @RicePolitics @MC_Council_Katz @hansriemer @Andrew_Friedson

Defund police from traffic enforcement! There’s no reason traffic enforcement can’t be automated, especially considering the worst disparities happen in traffic enforcement. Black people make up 18% of the pop. but are 63% of residents searched and cited. #BudgetVoices2022 #moco

Thanks to Marilyn for testifying about the importance of mental health crisis response that does NOT include police officers. We must adopt a program like CAHOOTS that uses mental health professionals to answer these calls, not armed police officers. #BudgetVoices2022 #MoCo

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

And @mocoboe @RebeccaOnBoard @ShebraEvans @nickasante_ @RLynneHarris @brendawolff1 @KarlaSilves_BOE is aiding and abetting if they allow the SRO program to continue

Read the letter that was sent by 6 members of the MCPS SRO Workgroup to @mocoboe and @MoCoCouncilMD. The process was flawed and student voices were suppressed. The findings should not be used to justify police presence in schools. #RemoveSROs #PoliceFreeSchools
