This case study analyzes how student and youth advocacy efforts have advanced alternative visions of safety within the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district. As a result of this student-led campaign, MPS has terminated all of its contracts with the Milwaukee Police Department, terminated contracts to buy or maintain criminalizing and/or surveillance equipment, and created a plan for how to use the funds previously allocated for police contracts.
