Join BAP Baltimore Citywide Alliance and Baltimore PSL as we explore the history of public education in Baltimore City, and how youth are criminalized in increasingly militarized schools, and in the city at large.

As an internal colony, Baltimore City is highly surveilled, highly militarized, and highly occupied. It has one of the highest police-per-capita rates in the country and is the most policed city in Maryland. Baltimore, in particular, is the only district in Maryland that has its own school police force. Despite crumbling infrastructure in city schools, the Baltimore City School Police Force is a unique offshoot of the Baltimore City Police Department that directly receives millions of dollars from Baltimore City Public Schools.

Masks required and provided. Food and refreshments will be available. Childcare provided.
