This morning Vets For Peace for the COB took a letter to the mayor's office requesting his support. I guess he was too busy to meet with this amazing crowd. #communityoversightnow

[Secrets from a Prison Cell @cellsecrets]

Building community inside the walls of prison is extremely important but very difficult. Can I trust this person? Will they turn on me? Finding a group to build community means getting through the day or the minute, sometimes the breathe.

#freedomFriday No innocent person should have to spend the majority of their life in prison waiting for the justice system to do what is right!! #freeCyrusWilson #innocent #NoJustice #justiceforCyrus #justicedenied #DoTheRightThing #wrongfulconviction #exonerate

Campaign update: https://t.co/VS21UDk9TV
During the past two months No Exceptions collaborated and joined with the Poor People's Campaign to raise awareness around the abuses of mass incarceration, and the urgent need to abolish private prisons. Help us keep it going.

A6. HJR 226 is sponsored by Rep. Joe Towns of Memphis. It would universally ban slavery in TN Constitution. It passed the TN House, but failed in Senate. We are bringing it back next year. .@TNNAACP #secondchancenaacptn

[No Exceptions @noexceptionsTN]

A6. 13th amendment doesn't abolish slaver for ppl in slavery (or "duly convicted of crime") you are considered slave or indentured servant. HJR226 removes the criminality exception - meaning you can't use incarceration to enslave ppl. #secondchancenaacptn .@TNNAACP https://t.co/EhWGahcdx8

[NAACP TN State Conf. @TNNAACP]

Q6. Our next question is for Rev. Jeannie Alexander of .@noexceptionsTN. You are working in HJR 226, another historic policy that would address modern slavery of incarcerated persons in Tennessee. What does it do and why in the 21st century? #secondchancenaacptn

[No Exceptions @noexceptionsTN]

More for A1. The TN Comptroller issued a report showing failure of transparency in TN prisons - lack of medical care, violence, abuse, overuse of solitary confinement. Legislation will be brought up again. .@tnnaacp #secondchancenaacptn

[No Exceptions @noexceptionsTN]

A1. Gov. Haslman eliminated Independent Oversight. Dept. of Corrections has major human rights violations in Tennessee prisons, yet there is no transparency. No one is watching the watchers. Legislation would bring independent oversight back. .@tnnaacp #secondchancenaacptn

[No Exceptions @noexceptionsTN]

Amend 33, also known as HJR226 just passed in the TN House! Are you listening Senate? #abolitionnow

[No Exceptions @noexceptionsTN]

HJR 226 set for a final reading and vote in the House tonight, but what happens in the Senate remains to be seen. Can we lead in universal abolition?

Are we responsible for the lies we let other adults utter aloud in our presence unchallenged? I kind of think we are.
