BREAKING: NY students file suit asserting a constitutional right to an anti-racist education, citing challenges of systemic racial inequities perpetuated by admissions screens, harrowing resource inequality, & Eurocentric curriculum as barriers #StudentTakeover #AntiracistEd 1/6
70 yrs after the filing of Brown v. Board of Education, students & advocates file a historic suit against the City and State, challenging racial hierarchies & asserting their right under the NY Constitution to an education that dismantles racism. 2/ #StudentTakeover #AntiracistEd
NYC public schools are some of the most segregated in the nation, reflecting a racialized pipeline that rewards families’ race & wealth privilege, and largely excludes students of color from the City’s prime educational opportunities. 3/ #StudentTakeover #AntiracistEd

THREAD: Yesterday Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislative leaders announced a proposal to extend eviction protections and to create a rent subsidy program using up to $2.6 billion in federal rental relief dollars. latimes.com/california/sto… @McGreevy99 #SB91 1/6
The bill #SB91 is a half-measure that is being rushed through the legislative process without significant input from tenants who would be most impacted.

Tenants deserve better. #ForgiveRentDebts #StopCovidEvictions 2/6
We're relieved the bill will extend important #AB3088 eviction protections through 6/30/21. Yet amid #Covid19 tenants need FULL rent debt relief. Rather than guaranteeing relief to all struggling tenants, #SB91 leaves the fate of vulnerable tenants in the hands of landlords. 3/6

Juliana came to the United States as a seven-year-old, crossing the border from Michoacán Mexico with her four-year-old sister. Her father, who had been living in California for years, was essentially a stranger to her and she soon learned she wasn't safe with him. 1/9 Image
Juliana is one of thousands of young people in CA who have Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), a form of humanitarian relief for immigrant children placed in the custody of a state agency or person appointed by a court bc of parental abuse, abandonment, or neglect. 2/9
In 2018, Public Counsel joined @manatt and @lccrsf in filing a class action suit challenging an unlawful policy by the Trump Administration that would have denied humanitarian relief like SIJS to hundreds of immigrant children in CA. Juliana was one of the class members. 3/9
