That needs to change…and you can help.
A LOT of people aren’t aware of the archaic, counter-productive practices still being applied to kids
That needs to change…and you can help.
The Kids We Lose Exposes the Brutal Reality
One component of our public awareness efforts is our award-winning documentary, The Kids We Lose. This feature-length film exposes the futility and brutality of how our most vulnerable kids are still being treated, makes a clear connection between that treatment and the school-to-prison pipeline, and offers a glimpse of a future without detentions, suspensions, expulsions, paddling, restraint, seclusion, and police referrals.
The Kids We Lose has already won many accolades, including Best Documentary at the 2018 New Hampshire Film Festival, the 2019 Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival in Washington, DC, the 2019 Women’s Film Festival in Philadelphia, and the 2019 Los Angeles Women’s International Film Festival. The film has also screened on Maine Public Television and Vermont Public Television.

A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN’T AWARE OF THE ARCHAIC, HARMFUL WAYS IN WHICH KIDS WITH CONCERNING BEHAVIORS ARE STILL BEING TREATED
Our digital public awareness campaign, which launched in summer, 2021, is changing that by making clear the human and financial toll of mistreating our most vulnerable kids. We’re focusing on the states with the worst track records of punitive, exclusionary discipline. The campaign has already reached over 1.5 million people…and we’re just getting started.
