[Release Aging People in Prison Campaign @RAPPcampaign]

In the New York Times, former NY Parole Commissioner Barbara Treen writes that lawmakers should pass Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole to address the crisis of aging & death in prison and bring home mentors & leaders in the fight against gun violence, overdose, and more.

NEW: Responding to an article in The New York Times about dementia in prison, a former NY Parole Commissioner writes that Elder Parole can "help resolve the crisis of aging behind bars, save substantial money & return people to communities to repair harm." https://t.co/24TKggPFuZ

[Release Aging People in Prison Campaign @RAPPcampaign]

An incarcerated person dies every 2.67 days in New York’s state prison system—a rate even higher than at Rikers. New York needs to pathways to release for people in prison. @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins can save lives by passing the Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole bills.

[COMMON @common]

Today I'm joining the call to pass the Elder Parole + Fair & Timely Parole bills. They will reunite families, are backed by many victim advocates, & have the support they need. Speaker @CarlHeastie & Leader @AndreaSCousins - Let's bring parole justice to New York State! #ParoleJusticeNY

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

The time for #GoodCause is now! @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins you have the power to protect millions of New Yorkers from displacement and rent hikes.

Let’s get it done.

[NY Working Families Party @NYWFP]

"We have deep concerns about Governor Hochul’s nominations to the New York Power Authority and New York State Board of Parole." (1/5)

[NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG]

The Elder Parole bill will help create a pathway for people to re-enter our society and be reunited with their families.

When people transform their lives, they deserve an opportunity for redemption.

BREAKING: New data from @RaceNYU shows the State Parole Board's racism has INCREASED, denying release to Black people far more than white people. This is why lawmakers must pass the Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole bills. @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins

[#HALTsolitary — Go to bit.ly/EndSolitaryNY @NYCAIC]

Join TODAY at 10 am to urge Governor Hochul to implement the HALT Solitary Confinement Law to stop torture, save lives, & improve safety.

NY’s racist and lawless prisons & jails are systemically violating HALT, causing immense suffering and deaths in solitary by another name.

Every week, @HellGateNY, @nysfocus, and @THECITYNY publish reporting that runs laps around all the legacy media in New York.

Independent, nonprofit or worker-owned media is the future of high-quality journalism, at least here in NY. Please support these outlets (links below).

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

NOW: Tenants, advocates, and state legislators are rallying in Albany to demand the passage of #GoodCause #HAVP before the session ends.

Rent is due May 31st, and New York is running out of time to address our housing crisis.

& of course, we asked John: What does ten years of Parole Prep mean to you?

John: “It means that there are still people who want justice. People who know that others can change even if you can't change the past. Parole Prep has proven that time and time again.”
