Eyewitness accounts - including video - are powerful tools to expose unlawful violence and hold police accountable.

HB 85 would have a chilling effect on people who observe misconduct. It is scheduled for a floor debate and vote this Thursday (5/11). #lalege

"Mail is a right," said Zach Kirk, an organizer with @SVDebug, one of the groups that led the rally. San Mateo's mail ban "decreases the amount of contact between families and their loved ones inside, and decreases any chance of rehabilitation." https://t.co/mZVzkuREAS

BREAKING! @knightcolumbia @EFF @SocialJusticeLF have filed the first lawsuit in the country against the elimination and digitization of mail in prisons and jails. We hope this reverses this problematic trend. Incarcerated people deserve to hold their mail.

It's about time!!! I've been taking meetings with attorneys for two years waiting for this moment. We're so grateful to @knightcolumbia @EFF and @SocialJusticeLF for taking this on. It's so critical.

Today, @knightcolumbia, @EFF & @SocialJusticeLF filed a complaint challenging a California jail system’s policy banning physical mail, which we argue violates the First and Fourth Amendments, federal religious freedom law & the CA constitution. /1
