ESCHATOLOGY (Bring Our Girls Back/Bring Our Boys Back) is a Prevention/Awareness PSA (Public Service Announcement) Campaign that is geared to provide solutions for melaninated people who have been disproportionately affected by Human Trafficking through what is called “THE MAAFA” .
Over 75000 Black Women are currently missing but the mainstream media fails to bring immediate attention to the general public.
Recent school-to-prison pipeline has zeroed in on the disturbing trajectory of black girls. School officials impose harsh punishments on black girls, including suspension and expulsion from school, at alarming rates.
The most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights reveals that one of the harshest forms of discipline–out of school suspension–is imposed on black girls at seven times the rate of their white peers.
In the juvenile justice system, black girls are the fastest growing demographic when it comes to arrest and incarceration. Explanations for the disproportionate disciplinary, arrest, and incarceration rates for black girls range from implicit bias by school and law enforcement officials to structural risk factors, like poverty.
Scholars point to disproportionate discipline, arrest, and incarceration rates as evidence of a system that fails black girls by pushing them out of school and into the juvenile justice system, thereby ultimately placing them at risk for a range of adverse life experiences.
When school officials impose exclusionary discipline, defined as any disciplinary practice that removes a student from school, they place those students on a path to the school-to-prison pipeline.Students from marginalized communities are more likely to end up in the school-to-prison pipeline because of systemic racism. Also known as structural or institutional racism, systemic racism refers to systems and policies that create and/or maintain racial inequalities.
Disciplinary actions that result in court referrals, suspensions, or expulsions – all of which increase the likelihood of dropping out and entering the juvenile justice system – are disproportionately applied to students of color.
Additionally, Black students are more likely than their white peers to be suspended, expelled, or arrested for the same kind of conduct. Furthermore, Black students are suspended or expelled at a rate almost 3.5 times greater than that of white students.
One of our goals is to provide Resource & Preventional Tools For Community Members such as a Comprehensive Application (Missing Person App), Therapeutic Wholistic Community Healing, and Community Resource Building for those in need of service and assistance.
A portion of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated to organizations and groups who have partnered with the campaign!
