To see discussion of Joint Enterprise in the public arena is hopeful, and down to the ongoing perseverance of key orgs, political figures, legal experts and of course, those harmed who are fighting for their freedom and that of others: all who we are continually grateful for.

💛 We have not signed the open letter which seeks to reform the use of JE so only those who make a ‘significant contribution’ to a ‘crime’ are prosecuted.

We are abolitionists, and know JE will continue to harm as long as it exists, because racism still exists, and it IS racism.

🚨 STATEMENT ON VERDICT & WHAT YOU CAN DO 🚨

Firstly, we need you to read about these boys. Articles based on the prosecution’s racist narrative will try to tell you who they are.

We wanted to share some reflections on the boys ⬇️ link to full text: bit.ly/3ws6zC8 ImageImageImage If you have missed what has happened, we direct you to the below tweet.

ALSO. Our director tweeted through this farce of a trial, we have collated those tweets, Day 1-38.

Earlier today we shared a tweet referring to a student which stated that they had been excluded for racist abuse, which was summarised as shouting ‘Free Palestine’ in a letter to their parents. It’s come to light that there is potentially more to the picture than stated in the... letter, and the additional context is important.

This is a complicated follow up tweet - Kids of Colour stands with the fight to Free Palestine, against anti-Semitism and against punitive educational responses like school exclusions.

⚠️ POLICE STOP

In October, a 14 year old black mixed-race boy was on his way to meet his mum in Chorlton to get food.

She called him at 9.40pm, both confirmed they were on route, he started to run as he was going to be late. At 10pm, her son had not arrived. On her 6th call an adult answered. The mum asked who it was, stating she wanted to speak to her son, but was hung up on.

Little did she know that since talking to her son, GMP had stopped him, stating a member of the public had seen ‘someone of his description’ trying car doors.

LAUNCH: 'Decriminalise the Classroom: A Community Response to Police in Greater Manchester's Schools'.

With @npolicemonitor we collected the views of 554 young people and adults. Their contributions are invaluable, making the case for #NoPoliceInSchools.

bit.ly/decriminalise-… Young people have shared both their experiences of police in schools, and their concerns in advance of their growing implementation.

Pay attention to their input.
