O’Shea Sibley was a dancer. He was a light.

He was brutally killed in Brooklyn, NY while dancing to a Beyoncé song.

We must put an end to anti-Black, anti-LGBTQIA+ hate and violence in our society.

We must protect our LGBTQIA+ siblings.

Rest in Power.

People who have been incarcerated more than once are 13 times more likely to be homeless than the general public. The criminalization of homelessness itself reinforces this "revolving door" of incarceration.

Approaching research as though sex is binary and gender is exact leads to incomplete data.

This mistake keeps us from creating the best possible mental health policies and programs.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

Blaming the homelessness crisis solely on mental health and drug abuse means that politicians don't have to address landlords and developer profits.

They're really try to blame homelessness on "personal failure" instead of these $3000 a month rents that no one can afford.

Ceres worked with multiple justice systems across the country to collect sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression (SOGIE) data. Read more on our website

Reforming California’s restitution system is a matter of racial justice. Black youth are younger on average when ordered to pay restitution and are more likely to owe restitution in higher amounts. Call your Senator today to tell them you support #AB1186

Today, a federal judge in Oakland blocked a Biden administration rule that limits migrants’ access to asylum at the southern border, casting doubt on the future of a key policy aimed at limiting crossings.

As #abortionbans & restrictions continue to gain traction, Black women, trans, & non-binary people will be hit hardest. We MUST keep fighting for #ReproductiveJustice.

Tell your local DA: Implement policies that prioritize reproductive health care NOW. https://t.co/yIYbBcA2x0

The current U.S. unemployment rate is 3.6%. Now, try wrapping your head around the idea of a 43% unemployment rate. That’s the unemployment rate among formerly incarcerated Black women.
