Minneapolis and Policy Brutality
Today, we grieve for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the many other victims of white supremacy and police brutality in America. The Equity Steering Committee at MS 54 stands in solidarity with the protestors risking their lives to demand justice, accountability, and reform, and with the members of our MS54 school community - students, families, teachers, and staff - who bear the burdens of this moment especially, and too often on their own. 

On our Equity Team Page, you can find a compiled a list of important reading, action steps, and other resources tuned to the moment, to help ground your response to these times.
