Trauma and healing expert @bordens20 is providing comment to the Designer Selection Board. She notes we do have the choice to reject incarceration wholesale. At no level are we locked into incarceration in the way the state wants us to believe #NoNewWomensPrison

[#NoLonger3/5 @MassPowerVote]

Incarcerated women in Massachusetts do not have the right to vote. We took that right away only 20 years ago.

Exciting news! City Council is holding off still on the BRIC grant of $850k until we get more answers! This is pretty unheard of and a good step towards a NO vote. Please checking out the toolkit at https://t.co/8NoFTIXqI8 and keep signing this petition https://t.co/dxtla1SpJK

A judge said it violated her probation. Grace has ADHD and is struggling with online learning, says @ProPublica.

Hundreds of classmates protested for authorities to #FreeGrace:
