Criminal justice reform isn't just a national or state discussion – it’s a local one. Listen to episodes 5 & 6 where we discuss the County’s plan to construct a $46 million Juvenile Detention Center and wonder why that $$$ isn’t being used to invest in our youth instead ?

Long time no tweet but we interrupt this pause to remind you to VOTE in the Democratic primary this Tuesday! People have won/lost over just a handful of votes in PWC in the recent past - let’s make sure the right ones win this Tuesday to fight on in November!

There's an outbreak of COVID in Prince William County Jail. Attempts to stop the spread don't seem to be working, and conditions are becoming more and more inhumane. If you want to know what the inside of one jail looks like right now, 🧵 here.

VA is so so close to finally abolishing the death penalty - credit to Sen. @ssurovell, allies and the countless grassroots activists who’ve been fighting this cruel and unusual punishment for years. 👏🏽

[Prince William County Colors @PWColors]

@serio_noserio Full disclosure 1 of our team members is a commissioner. Since the mandate is broad - we’re hoping various groups will develop their talking points. The commission’s in the initial phases where priorities are being developed & commonly mentioned themes could help direct focus.

Cannot stress enough how we can’t let this convo/work be dominated by the same voices that have always had a seat at the table!

15941 Donald Curtis Dr., Woodbridge, VA 22191 - Dr. A.J. Ferlazzo Auditorium - only in person comments for the Feb. 4th meeting.

[Prince William County Colors @PWColors]

@JCarrollFoy You definitely showed us that. Thank you!

[Prince William County Colors @PWColors]

Ok @JCarrollFoy showing up at 12:18 am to speak in favor of Dar al Noor - that’s something.

I mean she’s running for Governor but that’s still dedication to community.

[Prince William County Colors @PWColors]

Dar al Noor expansion approved but not before the disgusting comments by Supervisor Lawson pleading with the mosque community to mend fences with neighbors without addressing the very racist/Islamophobic comments made by some of those very neighbors.

Sorry for making this about race - it’s about traffic.

[Prince William County Colors @PWColors]

Not a White lady breaking into tears when it’s the Brown & Black Muslim folk on trial here. How dare people call spreading misinformation, lying. It’s just alternate facts.

Also, to note, every speaker against the mosque has been white. Ppl in support have been all shades.

[Prince William County Colors @PWColors]

Brown and Black people saying they are good Americans, doing good things for the community, just so they can prove they are worthy of having a house of worship big enough to not have to stand outside. This is sickening.
It’s all about traffic they say.
