Cops Out of the Schools: a Growing Demand

Students and teachers nationwide are calling for school districts to cut contracts and ties with local police. A recent study found that 1.7 million students attend schools with police officers but zero counselors. BreakThrough reports from New York City, where 1,000 protestors marched and rallied over the weekend to demand police-free schools and defunding of the NYPD.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.

We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.

People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.

We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
