Under Pressure, Chicago Unveils More Reforms To School Police Program

Chicago’s school police program is under the microscope during a tense summer.

Staten Island students showed up and showed out at the Staten Island SoapboxNYC Preliminary Round on Jan. 16! These incredible young leaders took the center stage to voice the pressing issues impacting their community, presenting thoughtful and passionate ideas. Students also had the opportunity to connect directly with local community members and policymakers who can help bring their ideas to life.
