VICTORY: LA City Council took a significant step forward towards strengthening TAHO! In a crucial 9-3 vote, ALL amendments we’ve been pushing for will be in the new ordinance drafted by CAO. Today we showed City Hall that we might not have the money, we have the PEOPLE POWER!!!!

Despite LAUSD projecting $6.27 BILLION in reserves in July, why are schools facing cuts to their budgets and staff @LAUSDSup? We stand with @UTLAnow and @SEIULocal99 to fight against staffing cuts. BSAP staff, PSWs, librarians, and more make our schools SAFER. #PoliceFreeLAUSD

We combed through @LAUSDSup’s #CommunityBasedSafety Plan and found it FAILED to achieve most of the stated goals of the Board’s original resolution. Our students deserve straight-A safety implementation, NOT FAILURE. #PoliceFreeLAUSD

Hey @LAUSDSup — we heard you canceled the deployment of cops at 20 schools. Why have you not made an official statement? We want NO cops on CAMPUS! INVEST in community-based safety now! #PoliceFreeLAUSD

.@LAUSDSUp told students & staff about there being no cuts, then cut school budgets, making it harder to pay for mental health staff that keep our schools safer. Shortly after, he tried to station cops back on campuses. #CommunityBasedSafety does not mean police in schools!

Hey @LAUSDSup, why are you deploying police at our schools and calling them ‘wraparound’ supports? Why are you reversing the policy passed by the LAUSD board to have cops stationed off LAUSD schools? #PoliceFreeLAUSD #FundCounselorsNotCops
