WEEK OF ACTION: Police Free Schools in Montgomery County

Montgomery County

People in Montgomery County believe that all students should be safe in schools, regardless of their race, which school they attend, or their academic performance. But after a tragic shooting at Magruder High School, some people are pushing for a “solution” that will harm Black and brown students especially, without making any students safer: expanding police presence in Montgomery County Public Schools. Let’s invest in our students, not arrest them. Join JUFJ and coalition partners for a virtual Police Free Schools Week of Action.
