I hope every year on Juneteenth more people dedicate themselves to abolition of police, prisons and slavery

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On this day in 1979, Revolutionary Assata Shakur escaped from U.S prison later received asylum in Cuba.

“I saw this as a necessary step, not only because I was innocent..but because I knew that in the racist legal system of the United States I would receive no justice”

PSA: ALL INCARCERATION IS FOR-PROFIT

Not just private jails and prisons.

Bail fees, court fees, property seizures, service contracts, monitoring services, slave labor—private or public, profit is embedded.

It’s the reason the U.S. has the world’s highest incarceration rate $$$

[Anti Police-Terror Project @APTPaction]

The only way to eradicate police terror is to eliminate police presence in our communities. A mental health crisis should not be a death sentence.

A story on CA's continued collusion with ICE.

Erika was arrested in 2019 while working in the citrus and almond fields in Kern County. She was jailed after being falsely accused of stealing a bag of fruit. After she paid bail, she was arrested by two ICE agents inside the jail.

Ever heard of jury nullification? If not, you're not alone. It's often referred to as a "silent power" - judges and lawyers know jurors have it, but they never say so out loud.

So what is it? Check out this🧵for more 1/6

Sacramento County has the opportunity to cancel a decades-long US Marshal contract that currently allows 300 people to be incarcerated in the Main Jail pre-trial. Join us in demanding that they cancel the federal contract NOW‼️ https://t.co/61TaKHVqJh

[Sister Helen Prejean @helenprejean]

Air conditioning and ventilation are not “luxuries” for incarcerated people. Imagine being confined in a closet that’s built from baking hot concrete and doesn’t have any working windows or vents, all while the heat index in the room rises as high as 150 degrees. That’s torture.

[Anti Police-Terror Project @APTPaction]

Defunding the police is an abortion access issue!

Right now in cities across the country we're seeing the police terrorize protesters and show us that they serve to uphold white supremacist laws like abortion bans. 1/
