Scenes from the student walkout today in New York City, January 11, 2022. #StrikeForSafeSchools

“Our school conditions are not safe right now… there’s so many people sick & our mayor is not doing enough to protect us. We want the option to go remote. We want the choice to keep our bodies safe.” - Felicia, Bronx Science

The administration at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School locked down the campus so that students couldn’t join the walkout. This is the procedure meant for “active shooter” situations.
