Summary
In this episode, we are in conversation with youth leaders, Jeremiah Salazar and Joelle Hennington-Jeffries, and staff member, Joseph Williams of the Police Free LAUSD Coalition to discuss the criminalization and overdisciplining of Black students in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). The Police Free LAUSD Coalition aims to improve schooling conditions for Black students and emphasizes the importance of community involvement and racial equity. We discuss how the Coalition has been successful in improving schooling conditions for Black students, such as, banning the use of pepper spray by school police against students. Importantly, guests argue that change for students doesn’t happen without concern for their families and communities.

Takeaways
School safety must be reimagined without police presence.
Funding Black futures is a priority for the coalition.
