Asilu is an anti-racist feminist group from Ottawa currently working on the removal of the School Resource Officer (SRO) program in our public schools. With the growing concern of police brutality in schools, we have started the No Cops in School campaign to call on the 4 Ottawa public school boards to terminate their relationship with the Ottawa Police Service and to end the SRO program in favour of student-centred options.
Over 600 students, educators, parents, and community members have shared their personal experiences of fear and discrimination because of the School Resource Officers in Ottawa schools.
