## Resource

A Jersey City mom, Emily Pecot, was arrested at a school board meeting for yelling — sparking viral outrage and a GoFundMe to help her fight the defiant trespass charge. A single mom and longtime advocate for special education reform, she’s facing a potential criminal record, which is why supporters are rallying to cover her legal fees — with the fundraiser already hitting nearly $700 toward its $12,000 goal, and extra funds going to autism nonprofits. Meanwhile, a city councilwoman is criticizing the board for removing public commenters, calling for stricter rules on when people can be removed — highlighting deeper tensions around parental rights and how school board meetings are managed.
