Wendy Howard is home today because of her sheer strength of will, her beloved family, her excellent legal representation, and a wide network of supporters who took action to call for her freedom out of a place of love and solidarity with survivors. https://t.co/NMCha9ocsr
The failure of @CACorrections to address repeated reports of sexual assault of people in CCWF by prison staff is abuse. This is especially egregious because the majority of people in women’s prisons are victims of abuse in the past. #StopCDCRSexualAbuse
Prisons use sexual violence to maintain power & control. That’s why officers have assaulted people in prisons for as long as they’ve existed. Ending prison sexual violence requires dismantling the system itself. #StopCDCrSexualAbuse#SurvivorSolidarity https://t.co/PUVlUltjvr
Take a moment to read Syiaah’s story. I know Syiaah & she does not deserve to be locked up in solitary for as long as she has been. This is torture. Syiaah deserves to be free, so she can focus on healing https://t.co/znQlmTm7AU #FreeSyiaah#BlackTransLivesMatter#MeTooBehindBars
#SB94 follows a clear three-step path of rigorous evaluation: judicial discretion, the Board of Parole Hearings, and the Governor's review. Public safety officials and victims will be involved and consulted at each step in the process.
This problem extends far beyond one officer. This is part of the culture at #CDCR. Please join me in calling on @CACorrections to end the culture of sexual violence in prisons and jails. Sign the letter and read more here: https://t.co/QpBKfrj64w

Today we're trying to send 100 letters to the governor in support of Marisela Andrade's pardon! Please join us in this community action! Email script here: https://t.co/6w6fMJD0j8
The support for Wendy & today’s outcome show the power of community. It is important that we continue to fight for criminalized survivors until they are all free. I’m so proud to be a part of this community and to have had this chance to stand with Wendy in her fight for justice.

We called for Wendy’s freedom as we called for the freedom of Tracy McCarter, Michaele Bowers, and Liyah Birru, all survivors who were punished for acting in self-defense.
