#JefferyLee is scheduled for execution in Alabama on June 11. The jury chose LWOP but a judge overrode that verdict and imposed death. Alabama ended judicial override in 2017.
Pls call @GovernorKayIvey 334-242-7100 ask her to respect the jury's decision.

Happy Birthday Roland Hayes.

Hayes was a lyric tenor and composer and one of the first Black recording concert artists, one of the first breaking the barrier when he recorded with Columbia in 1939.

This is wild. Governor Ivey is going to reap what she sowed.

Over the past 26 years, I’ve worked with and mentored countless justice-impacted non-profit founders. Most of them started organizations to work on changing the policies that led them to prison and jail and help others to successful emerge from the criminal justice system. It taught me that “people closest to the problem are closest to the solution, but furthest from power and resources.”

As I moved into the private sector, I realized that the pattern is always the same. The drive is there. The resilience is there. The ideas are there. But access to capital, networks, mentorship, and the professional systems that help ideas to grow is often missing.

The reality is that many of the people closest to the challenges in our communities are routinely overlooked by traditional funding systems.

That’s why, together with @divine4thletter and @ronbauer888, we created https://t.co/FPx0OF3vSY.

Redemption Ventures exists to provide startup grants, mentorship, and meaningful connections to formerly incarcerated founders who are too often locked out of opportunity. We are intentionally building something that moves faster than bureaucracy and focuses on investing in people with potential.

When people are given the tools, resources, and trust to succeed, they don’t just build businesses. They create jobs, strengthen families, and transform communities.

I’m proud that we’re now in a position to back formerly incarcerated founders. And we’re just getting started.

Please donate today at https://t.co/FPx0OF3vSY.

74 people have died in custody this year. That's one every two days.

Albany cannot look away.

With days left in session, we call on Gov. Hochul and lawmakers to pass bills that expand pathways home and overhaul prison conditions, including the Earned Time & Second Look Acts.

"I worked a prison job that paid the average incarcerated person $12 to $16 dollars a month... And while the United States Constitution declares prisoners to be in servitude, it also means to be a slave to the economic serving of the state."

June is National PTSD Awareness Month – a condition that disproportionately affects incarcerated people.

Not only does the criminal legal system cause mental health issues, but it exacerbates existing problems in an already-vulnerable population.
