We believe race and income shouldn’t determine anyone’s future in Long Beach. In our community, everyone should be safe, connected, and healthy.
In support of Mona Rodriguez’s family and all families impacted by quasi-law enforcement policies, Long Beach students, parents, guardians, educators, allies, and community based organizations have come together for the Safer LBUSD campaign. The campaign’s mission is to rebuild safety with and for all students, parents, and staff, including bringing justice to the Rodriguez family.
#SaferLBUSD demands “Justice for Mona” and real change in LBUSD schools–change that delivers restorative care for youth and the community.
Join Long Beach community in demanding #JusticeForMona and a #SaferLBUSD.
