When I say I am an abolitionist, I mean I am invested in building systems of robust & imaginative mental healthcare, education, living wages, housing, rent control, affordable food—a society so dynamic in care that renders prisons & police obsolete.
Despite admissions of serious prosecutorial misconduct, including improper handling of evidence, #MarcellusWilliams is still facing execution in four days. His last chance is for @GovParsonMO to intervene. Call, tweet, and e-mail Gov. Parson now and urge him to stop the execution before it’s too late at 417-373-3400. https://t.co/zjxYf3zyzi

Every Kamala Call should include the demand to end the Palestinian genocide. Make your endorsement mean something.
Black women can't win, Black men can't win, none of us can win without Palestinian liberation.
All my thoughts today with Palestinian mothers, Sudanese mothers, Congolese mothers, Black mothers, indigenous mothers, incarcerated mothers… may we honor and strengthen the love that binds us to you and protect and defend the life you’ve given this planet.
