Mass Incarceration

Interrupt the School-to-Prison Pipeline Campaign

The school-to-prison pipeline is a term describing how children and youth of color are rerouted and funneled away from educational success toward the criminal justice system when they are overpoliced and punished in schools.

To successfully interrupt the school-to-prison pipeline, we must resist efforts to criminalize children of color and move toward comprehensive, community-rooted solutions that offer genuine safety for all children.

Action: Tell Congress to Support The Ending PUSHOUT Act

The Ending PUSHOUT Act (HR 2738 / S 1338) is designed to address the alarming rates at which children of color, particularly girls of color, are disproportionately disciplined and criminalized in schools.
The Ending PUSHOUT Act would help our schools become safer for all students, especially those who are most at risk of being pushed out.
Please consider asking your legislators to co-sponsor this bill — or thanking them if they’re already signed on as cosponsors.
