We’re partnering with Duke’s Asian American Alliance and SONG Durham to help incarcerated folks get their stimulus payments and absentee ballots. We have hundreds of forms to send so any donation will help!

[Durham Beyond Policing @DRMBeyondPolice]

Durham SONG is currently working on mailing stimulus packet info and voting forms to folks in Durham County Jail! If you have stamps lying around and can send letters, want to help fund postage, or are free on Sunday to stuff letters, sign up here: https://t.co/zo7j67xCHg

[Durham Beyond Policing @DRMBeyondPolice]

On 10/29 @songdurham is bailing out Black mamas, caregivers, LGBTQ, and nonbinary folks from the Durham Co. Jail. With the election and COVID-19 threatening their lives, we need our community members out of cells. Donate below to #FreeBlackMamas #FreeTheVote #EndMoneyBail

[Linda Sarsour @lsarsour]

I hope you rest easy knowing we will continue making “good trouble”.

Rest in Power Congressman John Lewis.

[Duke Black Coalition Against Policing @DukeBCAP]

We can honor John Lewis by honoring the thousands of Black activists and organizers who have been profiled, incarcerated, and killed by the state.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

There’s going to be a lot of politicians lifting up John Lewis’ legacy in one hand while still upholding structural racism with the other. And as soon as they’re able, they’ll return to upholding racism with both hands. We see this every MLK holiday. Sad but not surprising.

[Duke Black Coalition Against Policing @DukeBCAP]

We have the support of more than 800 people and 50+ organizations serving on campus and in Durham. Let’s keep this momentum going and get to 1,000 signatures by Monday. We need your help to do this. Sign and share.

[Duke Black Coalition Against Policing @DukeBCAP]

Do not dilute our elders’ legacies. We honor John Lewis and his defiance, care, and wisdom that has done so much in this fight for freedom and liberation.

[Everything Georgia @GAFollowers]

RIP to civil rights icon and longtime GA Congressman John Lewis. He has died after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Also, RIP to C.T. Vivian, another Civil Rights icon, who passed earlier today.

[Duke University @DukeU]

In his new @TEDTalks, Professor @SandyDarity explains how reparations for descendants of enslaved people would work -- and why it's necessary that the U.S. engage in this act of compensation and redemption to make progress towards true equality https://t.co/BOMRpUwmAr

[The Chronicle @DukeChronicle]

The Black Coalition Against Policing’s demands include community support efforts and the eventual release of a plan to abolish DUPD: https://t.co/k6DO2UO24X

[Duke Chapter of the NAACP @DukeNAACP]

Let’s recognize the work and labor Black organizers like @DukeBCAP are putting in. Standing for Black lives is not theoretical. Practice it—read, sign, and share. We are proud to have signed in support of these demands.

[Duke Black Coalition Against Policing @DukeBCAP]

We demand that @DukeU sever its ties to all systems predicated on policing and imprisonment by following a 3Dimensional pathway: Disclose, Divest, and Disband
