Tonight, #CharlesOverby of the @CenterOverby said he was “proud of his affiliation with @CoreCivic.“ Overby has made millions of dollars from incarcerating people while he has been on the board of CoreCivic since 2001. This is the type of person @OleMissRebels honors.

@MUMI_2019-- "UNAPOLOGETICALLY ABOLITIONIST"...now this is a conference! We were immediately urged to get outside of just our conversation in this room, and to bring attention to #CharlesOverby @CenterOverby's relationship to private prisons!

The university likes to say that our racist history is "complicated." But this is the present. @OleMissRebels @MSPublicUniv - is it "complicated" that you are choosing to honor someone who incarcerates people for profit? #CharlesOverby #UMPrivatePrisons

While he's been on the board, CoreCivic has paid millions of dollars lobbying against bills that would allow the public to have access to their records through FOIA requests. Yet #CharlesOverby claims to be a fighter for the “freedom of the press.” #UMPrivatePrisons

We can’t have a realistic conversation about “people not voting” in Mississippi without acknowledging that nearly 1 in 10 Mississippians are currently disenfranchised. “Getting out the vote” has to go much deeper than handing out flyers.

[SASI - Students Against Social Injustices @USASI121]

Tonight at 5:30pm in the Bryant Hall Gallery! Come discuss and learn about social and economic injustices on our campus!
