Community Speakout on Bullying and Restorative Justice

During this year’s DSC Week of Action, students, parents, teachers and advocates across the country held over 100 events in 52 cities to raise awareness about the #SchoolPushout crisis in our nation’s schools and to help launch and support local campaigns.

DRUM youth members and allies held a community speak out to discuss issues of bullying, and the need for guidance interventions and restorative justice rather than punitive policies. They strategized on how to make their schools a supportive learning environment for all, and bring an end to the school-to-prison pipeline.
