We're incredibly proud of the years of work that have come to fruition today as @potus commutes the federal death row.
Today history has been made and serves as a bold step for justice, dignity, and redemption. Thank you President Biden. #CommuteTheRow

This is what it looks like to #ReimagineJustice in North Carolina - @Forward_Justice and many others showing us how to learn from history and build democracy!

"I’m a parent of high school kids. If there was evidence to show that #schoolpoliceofficers would make their school safer I would be all for it but at the end of the day there’s literally no evidence to show that police in schools make #schoolssafer" @marc4justice@ErinBurnett
@UnCommLaw’s new campaign is leveraging the power of stories to complicate and question our responses to violence; responses which too often perpetuate cycles of harm. Thank you for centering these voices!
As April & National Minority Health Month comes to an end, our very own @EvieLopoo has an important message in @thehill - we can’t improve minority health without addressing incarceration. Read it fully here: https://t.co/I5LVNtQiet
“When we share stories of mothers, fathers & children incarcerated - when we speak with humanity & emotion - we can see ourselves & our family members in the people who are incarcerated.” - @NnekaTapia talks about #HolisticSafety at @ABFE#Harambee2022
When did injustice come into sharp focus for you?

Grateful and humbled for this recognition by @warriors this week! Our impact is only made possible by the dope staff and people who walk together with me on this journey. Thanks to my family and comrades @thewayberkeley, @LiveFreeUS for your love and support #IAmAPeacemaker
What makes a city safe? The answer isn’t police or prisons. In a new paper for @square1justice, the ever brilliant @A_S_Alexander and I offer up strategies to address violence at its core: https://t.co/DzpXxVZzsb
“Justice demands integrity. It’s to have a moral universe — not only know what is right or wrong but to put things in perspective, weigh things. Justice is different from violence and retribution; it requires complex accounting.”
Rest in power bell hooks!
🧵:
Communicating with loved ones is a lifeline for incarcerated people, especially during the holidays, and is out of reach for too many. This #JusticeFirst, we’re highlighting the high #CostOfConnecting and efforts to make it easier.
Finally got a hard copy of @SouthSideWeekly paper where @guz_samantha @BSuslovic and I Published a Op-Ed and it’s so dope to see that we have the actual cover story!!!
