BIG NEWS: the City of Chicago is giving $7.5 million to local violence prevention groups to support street outreach work and victims services.

[Michael Tubbs @MichaelDTubbs]

A new report by @NICJR01 in partnership w/ @HopeAndHealFund states that each homicide in Stockton cost taxpayers $2.5 mill. It’s important that we continue to use programs like OVP & @WeAdvancePeace, which helps reduce violence & saves lives. https://t.co/I75iW2jSkS

Dr. Martin Luther King’s life reminds us of what we are capable of when we choose to walk together. Today we honor him, every day we must live with his lessons in our hearts. #MLK2020 #MondayMotivaton

We can't end mass incarceration without changing the way we think about violence. Danielle Sered of @common_justice is doing just that. https://t.co/ewbBRuitOp

“there’s a more nuanced narrative in all of this that is being overlooked: how situational tragedies from gun violence often become generational trauma for so many black and brown families in the East Bay.” #WeCanDoBetter

[Justin Phillips @JustMrPhillips]

After Orinda, I thought about the people I know who have been victims of gun violence....and how the cadence of grief from families and loved ones captured in the news was painfully familiar.

When young people in #fostercare take a hands-on role in case planning and court hearings, they're able to be a part of decisions that affect their lives. Review tools that can help: https://t.co/1ou41QRx3s

“A year after my release, I was unemployed, staying with family & unable to find reentry programs. I felt, & still feel, as if I’d entered a new stage of imprisonment.” Poignant collection of essays & artwork by formerly & currently incarcerated Americans: https://t.co/mZGFeqIm6s

This is what relentless advocacy can accomplish. “In just one decade...the number of juveniles charged in adult court fell by 94% statewide, from 1,201 cases in 2008 to a mere 77 last year.” #TogetherWeCan #Reform ⁦@DavidMuhammad⁩ https://t.co/rlTcbpnFDo

[Julio Marcial @JMarcial8]

To be #SmartOnCrime, let's change the narrative in the U.S. from the biggest jailer of kids in the world TO the biggest investor. But in too many places, and in too many ways, our system is falling short of that mandate and with devastating consequences. #SchoolsNotPrisons
