On 4/30 Women Watch Afrika and Partners held a #PressConference at the Georgia State Capitol and delivered our petition and statements to the Georgia Governor asking that he veto SB 15.
Thank you to all who have supported, fought, and continue to fight with Women Watch Afrika, Inc., Black Alliance for Just Immigration, GLAHR, and Project South to #VETOSB15, the so-called “school safety” Bill. This Bill enables racial profiling, disciplinary targeting and unjust punishment of students of color, fueling the school-to-prison and school-to-deportation pipeline.
Please see our full statement and sign the petition: bit.ly/SB15petition
