Read our full statement in response to the assault by NYPD Officer Scalzo of a 14 year-old Black youth in Staten Island:

#PoliceFreeSchools #CommunityNotCops #CareNotCuts 🧵

We are not going to share that horrific video of an NYPD NEWS officer violently assaulting a young Black teenager. We are going to share the fact that thanks to Eric Adams budget cuts, that child’s school lost its social worker but got more cops.

BHSEC Advocacy Club is organizing a student walkout & rally on JAN 12 to #RestoreTheCuts !

We’re excited to welcome a new group of New York City public high school students & high school-aged youth as TTC organizers! Submit to the interest form here by DECEMBER 10! bit.ly/22TTC

We've heard from so many TTC alumni that they wanted to see better processes for welcoming new organizers, supporting members and alumni, & prioritizing wellness. We're excited to put their ideas and feedback into action as we move forward together. Stay turned for more updates!

The change at TTC is long overdue, but the impact it will have on our future organizers is well worth it. We're grateful to the youth organizers who worked so hard to create a safe, healthy, & anti-racist TTC. We're excited to share updates about our work with you all next week!

We're returning to our founder's original vision for a strong and healthy TTC community. We created community values and revisit them at every gathering. We are building in wellness activities so our organizers able to connect with, trust, and depend on each other.

Something we've been working on at TTC is being brave in the face of conflict. This has helped us navigate difficult situations not only in our community, but among our family and friends as well.
