While these headlines are making the rounds, it’s a great time for people to understand that prison food has long been making incarcerated people sick and that is directly tied back to the corporations who cut costs at every turn with no regard for the well being of those inside.

NEWS! We filed a complaint against @UBS for its investments in private prison firms CoreCivic and GEO Group. The Swiss Nat'l Contact Point for Responsible Business Conduct (NCP), a governmental business + human rights watchdog, has accepted the complaint.

Incarcerated people in Baltimore are suing for real wages. The lower court denied the claim, finding that the county’s profit motive doesn’t matter bc the jobs are “rehabilitative.” Sounds like what they used to say in the 1800s. They’re now appealing.

Thank you @UN for calling forced prison labor "a contemporary version of slavery". It actually IS slavery, since the 13th Amendment allows slavery to continue as punishment for a crime. Time to #endtheexception and #AbolishSlaveryUS!

Today, Illinois officially eliminates cash bail, the first state to do so.

Thanks to amazing local advocacy, Illinois now leads the way on ensuring that people are not locked up simply because they cannot afford to pay bail. Congratulations Illinois!

The focus is often on adults. What they endure. What they are fighting. What horrors they must overcome.
But what about our children?

Today is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.

It's also the anniversary of the Haitian Revolution, when slaves in Haiti rebelled against French colonial rule.

Now widely seen as a defining moment in the history of the Atlantic world, the revolution began in August 1791 and saw the abolition of slavery in Haiti two years later.

Toussaint Louverture soon emerged as the figurehead of the revolution. Born a slave, Louverture became a general during the revolution and fought for the independence of his people. He is now known as the Father of Haiti.

Today we remember the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade, but we also celebrate the radicals who fought against it and dedicated their lives to its abolition.

“Plaintiffs are entitled to prevail on their claim that, as applied to their class, disenfranchisement for life under Section 241 is unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment within the meaning of the Eighth Amendment.”
