Hi @LeoGlickman1 ! 71st assembly district resident here – any recommendations on who we should vote to send to the judicial convention?

@aansari86 Thank you so much for doing this course, Ahmed! I wasn’t able to join this week, but glad to be able to catch up with the recording. I really appreciate your work!

@sheabutterfemme Thank you for your hard work. I've been learning about abolition for 5 years, but I've gained a whole new understanding of networks, perspectives, and resources to connect into in the past couple of days because of you all. Wanted you to know there are quiet fans out here too.

@LabSpecEth Sorry, wrong link! https://t.co/d3W9WcGMFf

@LabSpecEth I would love to know what you all end up doing! I'm facilitating conversations now about how design can be harmful and helpful in building/imagining alternative social structures (building on my work on futures w/out policing). Happy to share the outcomes. https://t.co/5BnIkEnKQ0

Many reforms & strategies to fight policing are circulating right now, some are AMAZING like #DefundPolice; others, like #8cantwait, want to improve policing's war on us.

When in doubt, ask our chart questions, inspired by @prisonculture.

The goal is abolition. We fight to win.

People have asked if I want or need anything. I'm collecting money to give to the most vulnerable organizers on the ground & I'm sharing screenshots on Instagram, like here: https://t.co/Td8h6AkQWR

Black Lives Matter.

That ALWAYS includes Black trans lives. Hear them. Value them. Defend and protect them.

They want peaceful protest, but aint too worried about peaceful policing. They’ll lecture you about “fighting violence with violence” but that’s literally their idea of “good policing” .

BTW: This is being organized by #BreonnaTaylor's aunt.

Also: Her killers are still on the police force. This needs to change.

Some books that help me make sense of this moment.

Being reminded of everyone coming in to make their own story from Ferguson uprising and St. Louis protests. I’m following @UR_Ninja @blackvisionsMN @jeremiah4north for some local perspectives. (Thanks USDAC for tips!)

[Alix Gerber @alixgerber]

@GVSUDTA @maggieNYT @MayorFrey @dawanstanford I’m glad this is resonating – we sure do need to stop calling on police and come up with some ways to keep communities safe that don’t lead to murder and terror. @BlackVisionsMN has lots of ideas and is working hard now in MN. @MayorFrey, direct your attention there!

@adremily Dan was doing the census!

[Alix Gerber @alixgerber]

@adremily I remember it.
