BREAKING: We just filed a lawsuit against the DOJ on the issue of CARES home confinement. Thousands of people were told that if they followed the rules, they would be allowed to stay at home. Now they're being threatened with incarceration. So we're suing. https://t.co/WRY0u7teDY
I’m sick to my stomach right now. But I’m not shocked. We know what we know. We live this every day. We are killed while unarmed and innocent. If Kyle Rittenhouse looked like me, there wouldn’t have even been a trial. The whole world knows this about our country. Again and again.
Thank you, Gwen Levi, for speaking the truth! It makes no sense for @POTUS to send people to prison who are now living at home, reunited with families, and complying with the rules. It's time for President Biden to use his clemency powers to #KeepThemHome.
ICYMI, yesterday @FAMMFoundation celebrated its 30 year anniversary! I just wanted to say mazal tov and thank you to this incredible organization that continues to do such groundbreaking work, and that always operates with such fearlessness, compassion, and love. Happy birthday!
Bam! Politico broke the story of our upcoming clemency TV ad campaign. More to come on this later today. And don’t forget to contact the White House today to ask @POTUS to grant clemency to people on CARES Act home confinement! @FAMMFoundation@KevinARing#KeepThemHome
It was a thrill to talk to WaPo editorial board about categorical clemency. Even more thrilling to see their rec: “Biden can use his clemency power to provide a presumption that all people in home confinement under Cares will have their sentences commuted” https://t.co/XAh4V9IIQk
The ball is now squarely in President Biden's court. If he refuses to act, thousands of people will be sent to prison. This would be one of the largest single acts of incarceration in American history. This is a legacy issue that will define his presidency https://t.co/NezMbwvOtx
The ‘94 Crime Bill was steeped in anti-Black rhetoric that reinforced false, dehumanizing narratives.
I joined @PodForTheCause’s limited edition #VisionForJustice series to discuss how, 27 years later, it continues to tear communities apart.

White House endorsement of the #Equal Act is not “remarkable.” It is so long overdue in light of all the evidence as to be underwhelming. Ending all mandatory minimums wd be more bold in this day at this time! But by all means pass the baby step. https://t.co/maggSpg5XP
