Youth Mandate for Education and Liberation.
This Youth Mandate articulates young people’s mandate to their government - local, state, and federal - to permanently end the school-to-prison-and-deportation pipeline and build a liberatory education system based on principles of inclusion, equity, and racial justice. We believe in police-free schools.
At this moment, the federal government has a particular opportunity to change course, repair harm, and act decisively to advance this goal. Through voting, protesting, going to community meetings, showing up at school board meetings and outside the White House, young people have delivered their mandate: begin by permanently ending the school-to-prison-and-deportation pipeline. We want education and liberation, not police and incarceration.
