It’s important to take care of your emotional wellbeing and mental health when staying safe at home due to #Coronavirus. Life has its ups and downs, especially in these testing times, but support is available for those that need it #StayHomeStayWell

Last night was our event with @npolicemonitor on the school-to-prison pipeline. We’ll be putting out follow up actions and ways to get involved later, so keep an eye out. A huge thanks to everyone who came and the speakers.
Let’s organise for our young people and communities.

After ours and @npolicemonitor's event, we ask for support and organising to continue. Firstly, please sign the open letter from the community to Mayor Andy Burnham, that details our concerns, and demands Greater Manchester's schools are police-free ⬇️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

It’s not enough to say ‘make sure you watch your language’ ‘don’t say that word’ ‘be mindful of what you say’ when you’re a teacher who hears/is informed of pupils being racist.
YP tell us this response is common, leaving them feeling let down. Use the word RACISM and explain.

No joy comes from reading exclusions for racism are increasing, it’s not a solution. Exclusions need to be decreasing. Instead of exclusions, maybe more time should be given to conversations about race and racism in schools and with individuals involved. bbc.co.uk/news/education-503…

.@stormzy is right, the UK is 100% racist. The reason it will continue to be is because people takes those words as the most offensive possible thing to say. Instead of reflecting on how we can make progress across a society that has longstanding racism entrenched in its systems.
