The mercury climbed to over 50C in the Pilbara this week& Roebourne prison where almost 100% of the prison pop’n is Aboriginal, has NO AIR-CONDITIONING.This prison described as inhuman in human rights reports over 5yrs ago & a massive surplus by WA Govt this yr.

@latoya_aroha Well done, so much hard work. Sending love to you, your mum and your family xoxo

URGENT: Tweet and call @VickieChapmanMP & ask her to put Fella's Bill to vote in the SA lower house today. There's only today and tomorrow left to get this done to #BanSpithoods! The Government promised @latoya_aroha & family this would be done - they've been waiting 5 years!

So I just learned via Ngarrda media that channel seven wrongly accused a black fella as being the one under arrest for Cleo’s kidnapping. Absolutely disgraceful

Not criminals or passive victims: media need to reframe their representation of Aboriginal deaths in custody by the amazing Amanda Porter & Eddie Cubillo 🖤💛♥️

Our piece: "#BanSpitHoods is proof that non-reformist reforms... work as one kind of abolitionist project. It is possible to restrain carceral practices of this colony piece by piece."

@Sarah_McDonald_ Yep it remains as an ECR. I remember my supervisor saying that the longer you have a PhD the worse you get at driving and reading maps

[Seeds of Affinity @of_affinity]

@latoya_aroha You'd think that community responses would be considered along with closing them down

[Debbie Kilroy - Lawyer #FreeHer @DebKilroy]

Strip searches are sexual assault by the State. Sexual assault by the State must end now. Governments say they’re ending #VAW but refuse to repeal legislation to end sexual assault by the State.

A standing ovation for the Unbound Collective keynote. How lucky and privileged we were to listen and learn #AWGSA21

[Sophie Trevitt @SophieTrevitt]

This is sickening. Imagine finding out your father died in custody from facebook. There will not be an end to Black deaths in custody until governments value their lives, & the lives of people in prison, equally to non-Indigenous lives. That's the reality
