Thursday evening, June 18, leading up to the scheduled Panel for Educational Policy (PEP) contract approval meeting, students, educators, and family members will rally in Central Brooklyn to demand New York City divest from the NYPD and invest in schools and communities. This comes after over 1,000 students, educators, and family members marched in Lower Manhattan on June 6th to demand police-free schools.
Join us for this Rally at Prospect Park at 5 pm. Be ready to make some NOISE! Please bring a mask, a sign, and a fully charged phone! Everyone is welcome!
We are also looking for people to call in and give 2-minute testimonies at the PEP meeting during the Rally. If you can’t make it in-person, you can also do this from home:
