“Domestic violence, and specifically financial abuse, is rooted in taking the victim’s power away (or trying to)."

Thank you @serenawilliams & @AllstateFDN for raising awareness about financial abuse 💜 https://t.co/HEu6zwDrrY

Housing is central to our advocacy because we believe that housing is safety. Securing safe, affordable housing is a crucial step on the pathway to a survivor’s long-term security. Learn more: https://t.co/wz3WatXrbg #31n31

#Heatwave on Rikers: Most are without AC. DOC not providing summer clothes as required. Some only have 1 set of clothes, longjohns we sent in winter. A client says an officer retaliated against people for taking off their shirts by turning off a fan. @CorrectionNYC must fix this.

[Coalition for Women Prisoners NYS @CoalitionNys]

Alabama State Sen Jim McClendon postponed a special session on prisons, saying that "the state is focused on football in the fall and there are costs to having a special session." So glad that @thecouncilus #FreeHer conference will be there this fall.

[Critical Resistance @C_Resistance]

Watch Angela Davis explain why we must always reject the state's argument that building new cages is necessary to close existing cages. That's not harm reduction, that's expanding the PIC. Shout out to @CR_NYC and @nonewjails_nyc for demanding #CloseRikers WITHOUT new jails.

[Coalition for Women Prisoners NYS @CoalitionNys]

This is the inhumane and cruel treatment incarcerated women face daily around this country. We are among the many women directly impacted by incarceration and our allies who are standing up against these abuses. #FreeHer @STEPStoEndFV @thecouncilus

Thank you @NewYorkStateAG @TishJames for endorsing our Less Is More bill — now Albany must follow your lead and immediately pass it.

It's critical to end reincarceration for technical violations if we want to finally shutter #Rikers once and for all. #CLOSErikers #LessIsMoreNY

@MaketheRoadNY @NYGovCuomo CONGRATS!!!!

[Coalition for Women Prisoners NYS @CoalitionNys]

Stay tuned for the real FACTS about #HALTsolitary from @NYCAIC

[#HALTsolitary — Go to bit.ly/EndSolitaryNY @NYCAIC]

This is a wild misrepresentation. Statement forthcoming.

[Coalition for Women Prisoners NYS @CoalitionNys]

#HALTsolitary #EndTorture

[Erin Leigh George @ErinLeighGeorge]

Survivors of solitary & family members are telling their stories, laying their trauma bare in a powerful act of resistance to end this state sanctioned torture. @NYGovCuomo, we are right outside of your office. Come hear what’s happening in your state. Pass #HALTsolitary now.

[Coalition for Women Prisoners NYS @CoalitionNys]

@MaketheRoadNY @UNITEDWEDREAM @GreenLightNYDT @FWDus @NLMHlive @CUNYDREAMers @thenyic @AlianzaAgricola Congratulations!

[Coalition for Women Prisoners NYS @CoalitionNys]

People in prison should not be made to suffer under these inhumane conditions.

[Katal Center for Equity, Health, & Justice @katalcenter]

Technical violations, such as missing appointments with supervision officers or failing drug tests, account for nearly
1/4 of ALL state prison admissions.

This is a crisis.

Albany must act NOW. #LessIsMoreNY

[Women in Prison @WIP_live]

It’s vital sentencing of women & men takes account of caring responsibilities. Women r much more likely to be primary or sole carers - Which is why in 9 out of 10 cases when a mother goes 2 prison her children have 2 leave their home 2 care or relatives. https://t.co/OuhrgW2ZcW

[Art for Justice Fund @Art4JusticeFund]

When moms get together, change isn’t far behind. @NationalBailOut invites mom + caregivers who are bailed out to apply for its fellowship to commune, communicate and organize with one another. 👏👏 https://t.co/F0f9xTQWHE
