Here, in Madison we will use this day to speak out against the use of police in our schools and how it disproportionately affects Black and Brown youth. Come out to demand that our schools are free of police!Show up at 4 Starts at 4:30.

Come out on Tuesday to join the @freedominc youth in demanding#NoCopsInSchool! According to the MMSD report on school-paid cops 2014-2015, 86% of arrests in or near Madison Metropolitan School District high schools involved Black people. Black students only make up 19% of high school students. The police is an occupying force that must be kicked out. #communitycontroloverpolice
