Uncomfortably & irreversibly aware of the state we're in

The #BatteryParkMovement created the pressure needed for Dems to admit that the Burlington City Charter needed to be amended to curb the sole hiring, firing and disciplinary power from the Chief of the Police. @MiroBTV tried to put a lid on it. But we're still here.

Jess Laporte on People for Police Accountability. We talk about the movement and struggle for police accountability in #BTV, the proposed charter change to help make that happen, and how you can get involved. https://t.co/rlU8K23LPH

For guns to work ammunition is needed. #Haiti doesn’t produce ammunition, nor guns. Control the ports & security will rise. Instead of boots on the ground use the funds to support our police. Apply the weapons embargo. Quickly these gangs & elite families will be without power.🇭🇹

Less progressive talk and more effective policy to ensure basic human rights over profit.

The inverse of believing everyone deserves housing is believing some people deserve to be on the street.

The inverse of believing everyone deserves healthcare is believing some people deserve to be die or go into debt as a result of getting sick.

The inverse of believing everyone deserves education is believing some people deserve to be denied access to education based on the cost.

[Velina @VelinaEC]

The gangs have a very prolific market, with 90% of guns and ammunition smuggled into Haiti from the United States of America.

I've been working on this investigative piece for seven months, please read. When we talk about police in schools, we should be considering the power police officers have over children, particularly children of color.

US police departments are spending tens of millions on PR to spread misinformation. To maintain their record budgets, they need the public to think that massive police and prison budgets keep us safe. https://t.co/39Tw6skERN

#Haiti police officers just unblocked Croix-des-Missions, which was blocked this morning in an attempt to stop 400 Mawozo gang from crossing over to go back up allies in ongoing Cité Soleil gang war. https://t.co/L1uewjynUM

The US' gun problem extends way beyond it's borders fueling violence across the world

[Jacqueline Charles @Jacquiecharles]

In the last week, 3 shipments of illegal arms were found in #Haiti. Now UNSC asking sendng countries to crackdown. So given that the shipments allegedly came from US, the question is what will US do differently?

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

WHITE MEN kill more police officers each year than every other demographic combined, yet cops always “fear for their lives“ around Black men.

Make that make sense.

Black folks are 3.7x more likely to be arrested for marijuana-related charges than white folks. Follow and support grassroots abolitionist organizations like WJFI to combat mass incarceration and prevent the building of new prisons in Vermont. #wjfi #NoNewVTPrisons

WATCH THIS SPACE: In the fall of 2020, the Women’s Justice and Freedom Initiative conducted a small-scale research project to better understand the capacity and quality of resources and support services available to Vermont residents. We will soon present these findings.

Bloomberg: “Americans should budget an extra $5,200 this year to cover rising prices”

Half of the people in my hometown of Cleveland make less than $20k per year. Break down the math for me, because I’m not seeing where the money is going to come from.

We’re joining 14 other organizations at @DecrimVermont calling for the decriminalization of personal use amounts of drugs. It’s long past time to shift our approach to drug policy from criminalization to public health. #vtpoli

Witnesses say Haitian police shot 3 journalists on 2/23 at a workers' protest that called for living wages, killing Maxihen Lazarre. That's 3 journalists killed in #Haiti in 2 months, the other 2 by gang members while reporting on gang problems. #impunity https://t.co/aey3nfGL6x
