The inaugural Student Collective for Abolitionist Learning executive board has graduated!! We are now Destiny Moreno, MPAff; Sarah Campbell, MPAff, and Sergio Plaza, MPAff!

[Student Collective for Abolitionist Learning @learnabolition]

Thank you to Destiny and Sergio for being such wonderful co-leaders and always nurturing my abolitionist pipe dreams. I wasn’t sure if we’d be successful in a space that’s inherently positioned against abolition, but we have been! We finished our first year with 65 members.

You'll be hearing a lot more about Melissa Lucio in the coming days. It's a deeply disturbing and tragic case, one that stunned me when I took a closer look. If you're still unfamiliar with it, here is a piece I published with @chronic_jordan last month. https://t.co/E7QBD5NvY5

The @learnabolition folks ain't playing around. I'm hoping they can host a convo around accountability with @maggie_lunas and @JenniferToon4 who have BTW been leading the TX awareness around Tejas' attempt to murder Melissa Lucio. @latinojustice #NoHumanIsDisposable

please join us in congratulating our new Executive Board!! Mari, Jamie, and Cole will do an incredible job leading this group next year and furthering our collective journey toward abolition ❤️

@RenaudAntonio we love the idea!! we had a group discussion about non-punitive responses to harm that left us with a lot of unanswered questions, so a panel is a great idea

[JorgeAntonioRenaud @RenaudAntonio]

Excellent year, I'd say. Your willingness to host individuals with lived experience and those who are most marginalized, in the bowels of @GovAbbott's dehumanization efforts, says a lot. Let's talk about a panel on accountability. What does that look like in a world free of

A few months ago, in that blurry haze of new motherhood, I left my infant daughter Eureka on the couch for just a few seconds. She rolled and slipped and tumbled to the floor, hitting her head, then burst out crying. /a thread to #SaveMelissaLucio

@DALuisVSaenz, you have the power to save a mother from death. Please virtually attend the House CJR committee meeting on death penalty issues this week, April 12th. #FreeMelissaLucio

[Free Melissa Lucio @freemellucio]

Will @DALuisVSaenz show up virtually to hear about death penalty issues from the House Committee on Criminal Justice Reform on April 12th, or will he have “pressing issues” this week too? #FreeMelissaLucio
