Jesse was joined by DRC Attorneys Liz Logsdon and Robert Reyes Villagómez to speak about the groundbreaking report "Let Me Go: Excessive Restraint of Patients at College Hospital." Together they speak at length about the importance of protection and advocacy organizations and their findings at the Cerritos College Hospital facility.

Hope to see you there!

This is unconscionable and another example in the long list of examples of state bars artificially gatekeeping access to the legal profession from people with disabilities

My accommodations fiasco with the GA bar, an infuriating saga🧵:

I wear 2 devices for type 1 diabetes. They are not optional. 24/7. They make periodic, unanticipated, un-mutable noises (due to FDA regs).

Obsessed with this living setup that this woman setup for her brother who is on the spectrum so he can live independently but still have his support system nearby!

SO proud of my colleague Eric Harris @emony21 for being selected as one of 30 disability leaders from around the world for the @Diversability D-30 Global Disability Impact List! https://t.co/1iL4SRf23e

"It’s also connected to a larger view that the United States, and I think the average American, have on Black immigrants as disposable beings, and people who are less than human.” - @MigrantFreedom

"Prisons are food deserts. Mess-hall meals typically contain very little nutritional value, and most commissaries offer few, if any, fresh food options."

Reproductive justice is disability justice. Register for @autselfadvocacy's webinar series about bodily autonomy, privacy, access to abortion, and the Dobbs ruling. All webinars in plain language with CART interpretation. https://t.co/dMz4QA5WCM

🚨BREAKING🚨: The LA County Superior Court just announced that it is ending zero-bail on Thursday.

This decision is violent and moves us backwards, away from common sense community care. (🧵)

Grateful to be joining @CURBprisons's listening session today (with @HumanImpact_HIP & @c_c_w_p) to explore freeing TGI folks and cis women + closing California prisons

LA activists who've been fighting to close 'unsafe, crumbling' Men's Central Jail for years continue to call on county to fund the 3,600 mental health treatment beds needed to make it happen.

"The reality is that there is a crisis in our jails."

INBOX: LA County BOS plans to give the contract for its 2-1-1 social services hotline to for-profit corporation Deloitte, rather than 211 LA, which employs local unionized workers. 211 LA has put out a statement claiming the submission process for the contract was improper:

[Liz Logsdon @LizLogsdonJD]

Your assumptions about how intolerant others are, are probably wrong. Even if you’re a person who values equity, those incorrect views about others could be leading you to make decisions that hold people back who are from historically excluded groups @lyzl https://t.co/RTsfU5pSzs

While the events that sparked the fight for LGBTQ+ liberation as we know it today get some attention, we often forget that the movement was led by trans women of color and Black lesbians.

UCLA associate professor @TerenceKeel said that more than half of the 26 people officially classified as dying from issues like cardiac disease, respiratory illness, or even flu, “have evidence of hematomas, bone fractures, and lacerations” https://t.co/J4yPVZ8KA2

Three decades after California’s prisons first came under court monitoring for rampant abuse and neglect of prisoners with mental illness, the system is still failing to protect its sickest inmates. For many of these men prison is not a place to heal. It is a place to disappear.

[CalMatters @CalMatters]

One in three California prisoners has a diagnosed mental illness. The state’s solution for some? Move them around. Read up on what some advocates call 'Diesel Therapy' https://t.co/thLJeMO0Ny

Proud to have worked on this complaint. We must hold ICE accountable.
