BLMLA Supports Demands from Students Deserve For Black Students
Black Lives Matter Los Angeles stands in support of Students Deserve in demanding the best for Black children in Los Angeles Unified School District schools. Their demands are as follows.
#StudentsDeserve universal passage of all classes and graduation for seniors, not stressful work and deadlines.
#StudentsDeserve graduation ceremonies (when it's safe to have them) to celebrate our achievements.
#StudentsDeserve food distribution centers that are ICE-free and police-free zones.
#StudentsDeserve the cancellation of all rent and evictions, not just a delay on when rent is due.
#StudentsDeserve immediate housing, healthcare, and sanitary resources for all who need them.
#StudentsDeserve to have loved ones freed from all prison/detention facilities to stop the spread of COViD-19.
#StudentsDeserve mental health support for trauma and setbacks from this period. We demand a permanent college counselor, PSW (psychiatric social worker), AND grief counselor at every school when schools reopen.
#StudentsDeserve to not be pepper sprayed by school police when we go back to school.
#StudentsDeserve everything that the Black Lives Matter Global Network is demanding in terms of permanent structural supports for communities, that United Teachers Los Angeles is demanding of local and state leaders, that Healthy LA Coalition & LA Tenants Union are demanding regarding housing and eviction moratoriums, and that the Justice LA Coalition and others are demanding regarding "criminal" and prisoner justice during COViD-19.
