CT BLACK & BROWN STUDENT UNION (CTBBSU)
Vision
BBSU is building a world where students no longer experience repressive school discipline policies but instead experience just and liberatory schooling.
Mission
BBSU is a youth-centered organization that organizes to build the power of Black and Brown young people in CT to protect students’ rights by ending school discipline policies and practices that rely on policing, violence, and surveillance.
Theory of Change
Building the capacity of young people to analyze, organize, and make decisions through deeper connections with their peers and communities will lead to collective power and meaningful change that shapes policy for schools to become safe spaces for Black and Brown students.
It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.
— Assata Shakur
