Still laughing/crying about tonight when @SABraveboy said “our courtwatch program” #caughtinthecrossfire

[MAKE COURTS ACCESSIBLE! @courtwatchpg]

@SABraveboy thanks for the shoutout! Tell the truth about us: we're an independent community organization led by formerly incarcerated Black women. You have not been transparent or cooperative with us; you have tried to stifle and obstruct our work. #caughtinthecrossfire

[MAKE COURTS ACCESSIBLE! @courtwatchpg]

Meanwhile here in the nation's largest Black county, people are locked up in covid jail on solitary confinement while they await trials with no date in sight - for charges like 2nd degree assault, which usually amounts to an alleged fist fight.

@SABraveboy the courts are supposed to only be holding folks with the most serious cases! This continues to not prove true! We are watching!

[J Sheffield @jshef005]

Today, the judge asked a loved one "Who won the election?" during mental health questioning. The loved one explained he didn't have access to technology to look that up. He continues to be held. What?! The system is designed. Join us @courtwatchpg

[J Sheffield @jshef005]

Even during a pandemic and COVID-19 outbreaks, Black and Brown loved ones continue to be put in cages for 'offenses' white people would not be arrested for. The system is designed and the whole carceral system must go. #abolishprisons #abolishjails #AbolishPolice

[Dr. Carmen Johnson @DrCarmenJohnso1]

The population in Upper Marlboro, MD Jail is quietly on the rise again. Not to mention they continue to hold our people in cages on non-violent alleged crimes with severe medical concerns.

[J Sheffield @jshef005]

Today with @courtwatchpg ...The alleged victim showed up in court during a pandemic to protest the defendant being HWOB. Did the judge care? She listened to the prosecutor who only cared what the cop said. Loved one will continue to sit behind bars. #AbolishThePolice

[J Sheffield @jshef005]

And yesterday, it was 747!

[MAKE COURTS ACCESSIBLE! @courtwatchpg]

Upper Marlboro Jail's population today is now 724 people. The population because of COVID should be 450-500. SMH

[MAKE COURTS ACCESSIBLE! @courtwatchpg]

We must say Judge Carrington rocked today in court. He stood with the Public Defender's office and challenged the phantom "Pretrial Office" on their policy and practices. I am sure Pretrial today have rug burns on their hands and their knees. Got to love it😍

[MAKE COURTS ACCESSIBLE! @courtwatchpg]

Marguerite from the Public Defenders office of PG County, did her thing today. Exposing the unethical practices in the Pretrial Office and how they are holding our loved ones hostage in jail. Prince Georges County have some of the "Best" Public Defenders in our Country....🤩

[MAKE COURTS ACCESSIBLE! @courtwatchpg]

We can not make this shit up......

[绿帽奴换妻NTR @CMPPtang]

💔 I hate that this is not going viral ! Like everybody else in other states ! I hate/love the fact that we fight for other states and the people that they have lost but what about our people in dc ?!!! We been losing people left to right ! SCREAM THEIR NAMES!

[MAKE COURTS ACCESSIBLE! @courtwatchpg]

A liar police report stated a man used his baby as a human body shield when they broke into his home. The ASA could not wait to run that lie in the ground & she asked 4 HWOB. The Judge was not buying it & nor was I. The judge released him on a low bond.

DC excluded workers need $30 million at a minimum to make it through the crisis! @councilofdc @MayorBowser

#DontExcludeMe #NoMeExcluyas

[J Sheffield @jshef005]

@ChmnMendelson @marycheh @AnitaBondsDC @BrianneKNadeau @tweetelissa @charlesallen @CM_McDuffie @RobertWhite_DC @mayorvincegray @trayonwhite @cmdgrosso @CMBrandonTodd @brookeforward2 Do better! Funding now!

[Many Languages One Voice @mlovdc]

One of the city's excluded workers says "We need more than a raised eyebrow. We need action. We feel so alone." #DontExcludeMe #NoMeExcluye

[Many Languages One Voice @mlovdc]

Excluded workers and their supporters gathered in front of the Wilson Building to say #DontExcludeMe from DC COVID relief. Speaker after speaker is sharing how hard they work, how they've survived and what getting the same funding other workers get would mean to them.

[J Sheffield @jshef005]

@brookeforward2 let’s make some changes in priorities on this council!

[J Sheffield @jshef005]

DC Council, Invest $30 Mill in Excluded Workers! That’s only $1000/household! How are people supposed to live? @ChmnMendelson @marycheh @AnitaBondsDC @BrianneKNadeau @tweetelissa @charlesallen @CM_McDuffie @RobertWhite_DC @mayorvincegray @trayonwhite @cmdgrosso @CMBrandonTodd

[DC Jobs With Justice @dc_jwj]

DC will only thrive when excluded workers thrive. Take action at the #dontexcludeme rally on Monday, June 29 at 9am in Freedom Plaza in your car or in-person with your mask.
