So, we kicked into high gear, met with the Haitian families to get a list of their needs, and off to BJ’s and Target for $700 of food, personal items, healthcare supplies, and yes some soccer balls for the kids! The families could not have been nicer or more grateful (3/5)
.@Jeff_Jacoby gets everythings wrong about ending #LWOP in his hatchet job with many incorrect facts in @BostonGlobe today. WHY we need to end the harsh sentense of life without parole--instead of trying to scare people, Jeff--1/2

Very excited to announce a critical policy provision that was passed in the #FY24Budget! All prisons & jails must provide telephone calls at no cost to incarcerated people & their families. BIG win! #mapoli

It was an honor to welcome @VP to Boston as she arrived for the 114th @NAACP national convention. I am grateful for your leadership as we fight for true racial, social, and economic justice for all.
We will use this time to discuss pressing issues within the community and judicial system. In attendance will be legislatures, law makers, community residents, Judges and lawyers. We will have collaborative organizations and guest speakers in attendance as well.
Excellent @BostonGlobe Op-Ed by State Senator @LydiaMEdwards, the new @MA_Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on #Housing, highlighting the multi-pronged approach the state must take to ensure every #Massachusetts resident has an affordable place to live https://t.co/FcqgvEUMcp
Today, I was proud to join @WEHAVEAFUTURE for the 15th Annual Youth Justice Rally! So proud of young people from our communities fighting for youth jobs, juvenile justice, safe schools, voting rights, & the end to mass incarceration. TY from one youth worker to another! Let's go!
Lamar Johnson served 28 yrs of a life sentence when his innocence was finally proven, and he was set free! All with the help of the Innocence Project and St. Louis Attorney Kim Gardner. Racial bias in the court system destroys the lives of many. Glad to have Lamar home ✊🏾
Too many of us scan rooms for exits when we enter. Many have gone through the grim exercise of figuring out who would be our last call. Last night, kids at MSU made those calls. They worried for their lives, their friends, their fellow Spartans
We can't keep living like this.
We’re excited for our monthly member lunch on the 17th! If you are formerly incarcerated and either LGBTQ+ or living with HIV come join us for a free meal with your peers.
This month’s meal is Chinese food!
Not adequate words to describe the joy in the room tonight in #Groton by all the amazing supporters for now-1st Middlesex @RepScarsdale! In a district that hadn’t elected a #Democratic legislator in 47 years, Margaret won by 7 VOTES, a recount & a #Republican court challenge!
“Justice lies always beyond us, asking that we find courage enough to turn and face together the haunting wreckage of our ongoing history so that we can tend to the injuries we have caused.”
Always good when a local press promotes a hearing that's as important as this one today at SJC #EndLWOP@_CELWOP@PLSMA@CourtWatchMA
