For almost 2 years, Just Us has been on a journey to obtain 501C3 nonprofit status. This milestone could not have been achieved without the support of our community. As a nonprofit, we will be able to obtain the resources needed to expand our mission.

We just finished this in book club a few weeks ago, and this quote sparked a lot of discussion + thought for us!

[radical theory @radicaltheory]

angela davis, from ‘are prisons obsolete?’

“people tend to take prisons for granted. it is difficult to imagine life without them. at the same time, there is reluctance to face the realities hidden within them, a fear of thinking about what happens inside them.”
