AJE is happy to share these resources around policing in DC that might be relevant to young people and families we work with.
- Black Swan Academy has a toolkit for activists about police-free schools.
- DC Area Educators for Social Justice also have a toolkit and information on police-free schools from an educator’s point of view.
- AJE is part of the Dignity in Schools Campaign and their Counselors not Cops Campaign contains numerous resources that might be helpful to DC residents who are interested in this work, and especially if they are interested in a national context.
- ACLU-DC also has good resources on police stops in DC, demonstrating in DC, and other contacts with law enforcement.
- This AJE memo details when and why young people can be handcuffed in DC and it is available in Spanish as well.
- There is also an event on Policing in DC coming up soon, details are below –
Finally, if you are interested in opportunities to tell and/or testify about your experiences with police in schools, you can email stacey,eunnae@aje-dc.org.
Youth may want to consider participating in one of these trainings about how telling your story becomes advocacy.
