 DemandSafeSchools.org\n\nIn this movement moment, our organizations have 
 come together to unite students, educators, parents and community to 
 advance a racial justice agenda in public education, in particular by 
 organizing for police-free schools. We’re working to galvanize a strong 
 and growing student/educator/parent/community voice; a voice that says the 
 government must go much further to provide the resources to ensure a safe 
 and equitable school reopening and must provide for our communities and 
 working families through transformational Common Good 
 demands.\n\nhttps://www.demandsafeschools.org/about/\n
