Solutions, Not Suspensions advocates for a more equitable and supportive approach to student discipline, emphasizing intervention, mentorship, restorative practices, and positive conflict resolution over exclusionary disciplinary measures. By addressing the root causes of behavioral challenges and providing students with the resources they need to succeed, we can reduce unnecessary suspensions, strengthen school communities, and create opportunities for academic and personal growth. Through collaboration among educators, families, community leaders, and students, we can build a more just educational system where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
The Beauty Justice Act (S.2057/A.2054) is proposed New York State legislation aimed at protecting consumers, particularly women and girls of color, from potentially harmful chemicals found in beauty and personal care products. Through its STEAM Academy, Sister to Sister International (STSI) engaged the STEAM Girls in advocacy and civic leadership, empowering them to find their voices, understand the connection between beauty, health, and environmental justice, and take meaningful action. This initiative encouraged young women to become informed advocates for healthier communities and lasting legislative change.
Beauty - at what cost?
Speak Up for Mothers!
Paid Family Leave for Stillbirth and Miscarriage (NY Senate Bill S.4376) is proposed New York State legislation that would provide up to four weeks of paid leave following a stillbirth and one week following a miscarriage. The bill recognizes the physical, emotional, and psychological impact of pregnancy loss and seeks to ensure families have time to grieve, heal, and recover without additional financial hardship. Sister to Sister International (STSI) is raising awareness and advocating for compassionate policies that protect maternal health, support families, and advance reproductive justice.
