Our second YouthBuild Mentoring Regional Training is in the books! With love as a foundation for transformation, we collaborated with #YouthBuild programs in Chicago to integrate the YouthBuild Mentoring model into their local culture. #YBMentoring

Much of what occurs within prisons remains a mystery to the general public, which often leads to a lack of public awareness about the injustices currently taking place within our prison system. #CANY works to lift this system out of the shadows.

MLK, 1967–We “must undergo a radical revolution of values. . . When machines,computers,profit motives,property rights are considered more important than people,the giant triplets of racism,extreme materialism & militarism are incapable of being conquered.” https://t.co/5kvjHUUyZ7

One of the worst aspects of the pandemic is that we cannot participate in our sacred and ancient grieving rituals when we need them most. To be physically close to those we love, to hug and cry and pray and hold each other, we can't process grief without it. And yet we have to.

Today, the NY State Parole Board announced their decision to release Judy Clark. We commend their decision and the decision of Governor Andrew Cuomo to commute her sentence in 2016 to make her eligible for parole. Read our full statement, here: https://t.co/wCzNMPyiT3

[Osborne Association @OsborneNY]

We welcome the news that Judy Clark has been granted parole after nearly 40 years in prison! She will return to the community as a true asset who can further our state's expressed goal of a smaller, safer, and more just criminal justice system.

#JazmineHeadley is a symbol of strength before the @NYCCouncil today.

She is facing down the the trauma she experienced, to help us get answers and stop anything like this in the future.

We owe her our gratitude, and the city owes the apology Comm. Banks rightly gave today.

Shout out to the families, electeds & people in these streets

This is still going on. Right here in NYC. Right now. This is the violence of mass incarceration. https://t.co/Pde0EMDiW3

[REFORM Alliance @REFORM]

The heinous treatment of our friends and family members at MDC Brooklyn Detention Center is inhumane and must be stopped immediately. We will not rest until this is corrected. #REFORM #FightDifferent

"If all victims are offered is locking someone up, then they’re going to oppose a release because that is all we’ve done for them. We must address the victim’s needs, and humanize everyone involved.” —Liz Gaynes
