Syracuse Mini-Conference on Dismantling the School to Prison Pipeline
November 6, 2014
6:00pm to 8:30pm
South Side Innovation Center
2610 South Salina Street
Syracuse, NY
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND MEDIA
This Mini-Conference’s purpose is to education, provide alternatives, and give affective tactics and strategies to organize around dismantling school pushout and the school to prison pipeline.
One of the most important issues to address that are affecting youth in this country and the world is the School to Prison Pipeline. The School to Prison Pipeline is the process that youth are targeted, then pushed out of school, and then pushed in the streets to only be targeted by police, who then arrest them. Next these youth are caught in a revolving door of the criminal justice system, often never to get out. This process most often targets youth of color, specifically African-American youth. The four youth that are targeted the most are – Youth of Color, Youth with Disabilities, Youth that are LGBTTQIA, and Economically Disadvantaged Youth. Please attend this very important event to address locally in Syracuse and nationally one of the worst problems in America.
This Mini-Conference will speak about how to organize and education people in your community.
This Mini-Conference will speak about needed legislation that needs to be over thrown and signed into law.
This Mini-Conference will speak about policies and curriculum design that must end or be replaced.
This Mini-Conference will speak about what is working and not working nationally within the movement to dismantle the school to prison pipeline.
