Cleaning the GMDC garden for Officers to enjoy with CJ reform advocates, @CorrectionNYC, staff, @VinSchiraldi @AdrienneEAdams1 creates healing from the inside out. We did the same at RMSC for incarcerated people and doing the same at AMKC/RNDC. We see all people touched by Rikers

@VinSchiraldi@Stan_Fortune Stan, Keep doing what you have always done by putting people first. Officers are human beings too and if we want yo reduce violence and end mass incarceration we need create a culture of love and service to others that lifts up the humanity of everyone.

@Vivian_Nixon_WW and I discuss the importance of higher education in prisons in the @hechingerreport.

We stand with @TrinityWallSt in calling on @NYCMayor to house people leaving Rikers. To truly provide access to permanent housing for people with convictions, we must pass #FairChanceforHousing to end background checks in housing. https://t.co/hPye3Nu3ux
.@GoyaFoods has been a staple of so many Latino households for generations.
Now their CEO, Bob Unanue, is praising a president who villainizes and maliciously attacks Latinos for political gain. Americans should think twice before buying their products. #Goyaway

Rev. Vivian Nixon, ED of @ccf_ny and @ColumbiaGCA / @Columbia_SPS Community Scholar alumna, delivers inspirational keynote @TeachersCollege#HarlemAdultEd conference “The Role of Adult Learners: Shifting from Passive Learning to Leadership.”
@devah_pager is one of the scholars I thank in my acknowledgments section, as she was instrumental in my Ban the Box research. It was a profound pleasure to have known her. So sad to hear of her passing. May she #restinpower.
Devah Pager would greet you with lines like, "You brought a huge smile to my face." The smile was already there, of course, but she liked to spread around the credit. We will not forget what she said, what she did (oh, what she did!), or how she made us feel.
