Overnight, US government carried out execution of Lisa Montgomery, first woman put to death in US in 67 years. She was 11th person executed since Trump resumed federal executions in July

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

With visitation largely suspended to slow the spread of COVID-19, the disproportionately low income families of incarcerated people are forced to pay for phone and video calls. This holiday season, they may be choosing between groceries or a phone call with Mom or Dad.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Ending mass incarceration means granting clemency, commuting sentences, and releasing hundreds of thousands of people from prison and jail immediately.

Bring our people home.

[jess @halfsleepers]

the death penalty needs to be abolished. research has proven it DOESN’T deter criminal activity and it’s incredibly racially biased. the cost for both trial and the execution process is 2 MILLION DOLLARS. that’s 3X more expensive than life without parole. it’s inhumane.

[Becca Lopez @BeccaLopez57575]

@SAPRIcmu Please help get Wilson’s life back. He’s serving a life sentence on a wrongful murder conviction. Please sign this petition. Wilson has already missed his daughter growing up, and his granddaughter is about to be 3. Thank you for supporting

[ACLU of Michigan @ACLUofMichigan]

Racism is alive and well in Michigan’s broken criminal justice system. Black men make up 29% of jail admissions, but just 6% of the population.

📍El Paso, TX is so understaffed they are using inmates to help move deceased #COVID19 patients to the mobile overflow morgues.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Improving the criminal-legal system in 3 steps:
1. Decarcerate.
2. Abolish private prisons.
3. Completely divest from mass incarceration and militarized policing. Invest in our communities.
