Join the Dignity in Schools Campaign–New York on Thursday, June 6th as students, parents, teachers, and advocates from across the city will come together to address the overuse of suspensions and other punitive discipline in New York City’s schools. We need your help in sending a strong message to the DOE that punitive discipline does not work. The DOE must reduce suspensions, and invest in the proven, positive alternatives that work and that are being used with great success in schools around the City. Our children deserve to be on a school pathway to success - not a pipeline to prison.

In the last week there have been a series of cases where members of the gay community have been assaulted, robbed and hospitalized. At which point do we say enough is enough? We must stand together and let the city of New York that this will no longer be tolerated. The ignorance towards the gay community must come to an end. This is a call to arms for the entire gay community to begin to rise up and fight back. We stand in solidarity with those who have been victims of hate crimes.
