Ways to Get Involved
There are multiple ways you can get involved. And of those multiple ways, whether that be from joining our mailing list and staying up to date with all things to do with Policing-Free Schools and the multiple ways you can support, including for our calls for solidarity. Another way to get involved, if you are already part of an existing campaign in the struggle for police and policing free schools, and have yet connected to the provincial network and campaign, we’ll connect you to our national networking campaign as well. Or are you in the process of developing a new campaign? Policing-Free Schools can help you strategize, organize, analyze and mobilize.
Also, if not part of a campaign, but interested to be, we encourage folks to join a local campaign. Connect with us and we can connect you with local partners across the province. Email us and stay connected: connect@policingfreeschools.ca, for more information on current campaigns to join and/or to request workshops, teachings and general campaign support. Get involved any way you can, because we know that the push towards a Policing-Free Schools Ontario and beyond is grounded in local and collective solidarity work. Join us.
