COFI

Director of Organizing Interviewed for CBS News

“Millions of tax dollars are at stake in the push to remove police officers from inside Chicago Public Schools.

But those who are pushing for the move say it’s about so much more, as CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov reported Tuesday…

Occomy-Crowder’s organization, known for short as COFI, collaborated on a 2017 study that shows having police officers in schools increases student anxiety and chances for arrest.

It shows most police security resource officers, or SRO’s, are in predominantly African-American and Latinx neighborhoods, where the majority of student arrests also occur.”
