“These decisions will encourage those who seek to undo the progress of the civil rights movement and further erode efforts to advance racial equity and socioeconomic advancement for under-resourced communities.” - @april_camara

The latest data shows why “reforming” Mass Incarceration is a waste of time. Let’s spend our time #EndingMassIncarceration and #SolvingCrime. America “solved” public lynchings without Mass Incarceration. Why not other crimes?

Great to connect w/ @lapubdef @german_stan @amcweay & many others at the @NLADA American Council of Chief Defenders Conference. So many public defenders are doing amazing work under very challenging circumstances. Imagine what they could do if properly funded. #FundPublicDefense

Impacted folks are "left out from these conversations even though they are a significant stakeholder... And so that’s an access to justice question: Is Gideon fulfilled when you’re looking through a video camera?” - @BloomquistAli via @Arnold_Ventures: https://t.co/5GqKMlZAG4

On a whirlind Gideon week tour! Headed to DC where NLADA will be hosting defenders, folks impacted by the criminal legal system, and USAG Merrick Garland in conversation about the state of the right to counsel. #Gideon60, #NLADA Join our live stream! https://t.co/RX4xCSzEVR

[Ali Bloomquist @BloomquistAli]

Access to Justice matters! In the criminal legal system, AND the civil legal systems that take away shelter, sustenance, safety, health, and children. I celebrate Gideon@60, and the constitutional right to counsel, by fighting to expand that access.
