Flywheel Has Been Pushed Out of La Follette: Take Action

For many years, Dane County Timebank has partnered with La Follette High School to facilitate their restorative justice program and create transformative opportunities for students and staff alike. Unfortunately, due to a change in leadership at the school, our work has started to experience pushback and pushout. As of October 6th, our abolitionist restorative justice work at LFHS has been paused at the request of the interim principal, Mat Thompson. We have resisted the attempts to conflate and conjoin restorative justice work with the security office, as it goes against evidence-based best practices and continues to harm Black children. We invite you to use your voice to support our abolitionist restorative justice work by joining us for a Letter Writing Action on Zoom on Thursday December 2nd at 6-8pm. Let’s stand up to make sure students continue to have access to programs where they feel valued, supported, and safe. RSVP for the Letter Writing event here.
