Location: At Founders Hall located at the intersection of Olney Ave and Wister Ave directly across from Fresh Grocer. The building has lots of glass. And you can park in fresh grocer lot or on street.
Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools is a feature length documentary that takes a deep dive into the lives of Black girls and the practices, cultural beliefs and policies that disrupts one of the most important factors in girls’ lives – education.
Black girls are over-represented along the entire exclusionary school discipline, including, but not limited to, suspension, expulsion, referrals to law enforcement and arrest. Across the nation, girls of color have described experiencing discipline in response to their expressions, presentation, and/or identity, instead of in response to an actual threat to school safety.
