  30. Our education justice group had an intense and powerful discussion with student leaders from Frederick Douglass High School about everything from metal detectors in schools, to the need for more faculty of color, to discipline policies, to the Baltimore uprising and the criminalization of black students in schools. Students at Douglass had been accused of starting the uprising and were surrounded by the National Guard for weeks. They are surveilled at all times by the police state, and are forbidden from going to the Mandawmin Mall across the street. The late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall is an alum from 1925. One of our students said, "It was like looking in the mirror, I could be one of the students we met today." #lreiJRtrip #edujustice#staywoke

  53. Police reform panel with members of Seattle PD, Department of Justice, Seattle City Attorney, and court-appointed monitors discussing Seattle's history of unconstitutional police practices and the 2012 consent decree mandating reforms. "There's no separation between good policing and constitutional policing." "'Law and order' is not the same thing as justice." On why SPD refuses to enforce federal immigration laws: "Threat of deportation chills people's willingness to report crimes or give testimony...We've seen victims walk away rather than report crimes. It's making us all less safe." #lreijrtrip #lrei2seattle

  64. Spent much of Thursday at the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission learning about the center's focus on reframing and retraining police as guardians of democracy rather than warriors and enforcers. We sat in on de-escalation training, shoot/don't shoot simulators, and spoke to trainers and recruits. Executive Director Sue Rahr (a member of Obama's 21st Century Task Force on Policing) asked our students for feedback and suggestions based on what we saw and for advice on building trust between police and communities of color. Needless to say, we had thoughts. #lreijrtrip #lrei2seattle
