Keep Stockton Unified School District Safe

Our school resource officers are vital to keeping Stockton Unified School District safe. We need them to protect our children and maintain a secure learning environment.

Stockton Unified was weighing whether to keep school resource officers on its campuses. Families who had seen those officers work day to day wanted that experience in front of the trustees before the vote.

The campaign collected signatures and turned each one into a message to the district. A smaller community than Los Angeles, but the same mechanic - and proportionally, an even louder signal.

It is a reminder that a campaign does not need six figures of support to work. It needs the right people writing to the right desk at the right time.

Eleven thousand messages in a district our size is not a petition. It is the community showing up.
