the president’s clemency powers COULD and SHOULD be used to reunite families separated by incarceration for the holidays.
this tradition is such a mockery of a critical process that could change lives and strengthen communities - but…turkeys.
To help reach Asian communities, @GrassrootsAsRis created "From the River to the Sea: Building Pan-Asian Solidarity for Palestine.” Understanding the role of the U.S. in sustaining the current apartheid system is our responsibility to end apartheid and occupation of Palestine.
The number of people currently serving life sentences in the U.S. exceeds the total prison population in 1970.
We must scale back extreme sentences if we are going to meaningfully address mass incarceration.

One of our commutation clients, David Johnson, is home after 50 years!
Big thanks to our summer legal intern @AudreyPan6 who worked alongside David to make his freedom a reality.
Opponents of affirmative action are trying to use Asian Americans as a wedge against other communities of color. But we're not here for it. #DefendDiversity#AffirmOpportunity
Recently had 2 white women in leadership positions direct me not to use the term “white” to describe white ppl. And I recently had hundreds (here on Twitter) tell me they don’t want to be called “settler.” So I ask with sheer curiosity/desire to get it right,what do we call you?
Lots of talk these days about ‘felony murder.’
PA is the ONLY state in the country that condemns every single person convicted under the felony murder rule to die in prison by way of mandatory life without parole.
It’s an extreme and outlandish practice and we should end it.
My brilliant friend @mkkaishian breaks down the intentional misinformation and manufactured consent coursing through the prevailing “discourse” on bail reform in NY. Thank you MK https://t.co/QJFePKoopu
Yesterday the Board of Pardons recommended the release of only two rehabilitated individuals. This past spring and last winter they recommended the majority before them.
Read our analysis of yesterday's hearings and the uneven progress of the Board.
