Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP) did a recent investigation into Pasadena Independent School District for metrics on suspensions, referral to alternative schools, physical restraints on campus, and police response to student misbehavior. PISD police department arrested more students than other larger districts including Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin. And while Black students only make up 7.5 percent of the student body, they made up 19.4 percent of the total arrests made. We discuss the first townhall between parents, teachers, and the school district hosted by TCRP. 

After a music break, we looked at Houston Abolitionist Collective's newest newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/d342be4edebf/hac-mar-2022. This newsletter contains information on sources for Trans & Queer Help, upcoming police union contract, the campaign to remove police surveillance technology, and more.
