WHAT IS BLACK MOTHERS FORUM?
We address and aim to end the school-to-prison pipeline. Our mission is to get educated and get organized so we can take a course of action to slow down, and reduce the number of times young Black people are being suspended or expelled in school, or feeling unsafe or unsupported in their learning environments.
