Montgomery County Watch Party: FY22 Budget Worksession

Montgomery County

Join a virtual watch party of the County Council's upcoming budget worksession! During the worksession, the County's Government Operations and Fiscal Policy Committee (GO) will discuss the proposed FY22 budget's funding of several of our priority issues including housing and policing.

Watch Party: Report from the Board of Education’s SRO Working Group

Montgomery County

Join the MC Defund Policing & Invest In Communities Coalition for a watch party of a presentation by the Board of Education's SRO Working Group. The working group will present its final report on the impact of School Resource Officers (SROs) on Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). JUFJ and our coalition partners are concerned that their report is very heavily biased in favor of maintaining the status quo, and fails to use reliable research in justifying its outcomes. 

The watch party will begin at 3:30, and we'll start with a short relational activity and review background information on the bill. The working group's presentation will begin at 3:50, at which time we'll use screen share to display information.

MC Watch Party: Full Council Budget Worksession

Montgomery County

Join JUFJ in Montgomery County for a watch party of a full Council budget worksession! The Council will review funding for alternatives to School Resource Officers (SROs), funding for nonprofits, funding for rent assistance, and funding for homeless services — this is one of the most important full council budget worksessions this session!

While we anticipate favorable outcomes for funding for nonprofits, rent assistance, and homelessness services, JUFJ and our partners in the MC Defund/Invest Coalition are asking for additional funding for culturally competent, licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), which is not yet guaranteed in the budget. 

Our watch party will begin at 9:30 AM. We will begin with a short relational activity, and then review background information on the budget. The worksession will begin at 9:45 AM.

No SROs, No CROs Social Media/Call Storm!

Montgomery County

Last week, the County Council approved the preliminary budget for FY22, which passed with FULL funding for the Community Resource Officer (CRO) program, and ZERO funding for culturally competent social workers. 

This budget, proposed by the County Executive and approved by the County Council, is a complete disappointment to the students, educators, and community members who have been calling for the full removal of police from MCPS for a year now. 

Join JUFJers and other adult allies on the Police Free Schools Campaign to take action together during our Power Hour!
