Students Deserve

On November 10, 2026, the student organizers of Students Deserve appeared at the Los Angeles Unified School District board meeting to demand that LAUSD protect funding for the Black Student Achievement Plan (BSAP), not increase funding for school police.

The photographs above capture these brave and inspiring organizers at a moment of triumph — the school board agreed with their demands and voted to maintain $100 million in annual funding for BSAP in both the 2027-28 and 2028-29 school years.
