Holistic Represention in Allegheny County for families in the child welfare system with complex legal cases and families with ASD and hidden disabilities.
When I started @PINJNews, I was told no one wanted to read about incarceration, especially on a local level. @jodydiperna and I scrapped for three years and dedicated ourselves to the mission anyway.
Our Death in Custody event tonight is almost sold out.
Join us at Trace Brewery this Thursday at 6:30 pm for a reading with @jaydaronson and @rmitch_jr on deaths in custody.
@AbolitionistLC's Jaclyn Kurin and @1hood's MAN-E will also discuss their work, including deaths at the Allegheny County Jail.

POVERTY IS A POLICY CHOICE!
The Child Tax Credit and an expanded social safety net led to a drop in child poverty.
What did our government do? Eroded the safety net and went back to business as usual—blocking social legislation while raising the military budget.
Politicians often use victims of crime as an excuse for harsh sentencing and punitive policies. However, the vast majority of victims of violent crime want investments in education, jobs, and healthcare - NOT prisons and jails.
Oh wow! The overflowing generosity is amazing. We've acquired enough in 24 hours to fill both houses we need to fill. But there will be more! We are here because of and for the community. Thank you all!!
