Eliminate the use of exclusionary discipline (suspensions and expulsions) for subjective, non-violent behaviors (like “disrespect,” “insubordination,” dress code violations, phone use, and tardiness)
Our campaign is building power to end suspensions and expulsions, and we know we cannot win without broad movement alignment. We invite organizations to engage at the level that best fits their capacity and priorities.
