As you can see, my enthusiasm for @KristenClarkeJD knows no bounds. Today the Senate will vote to #ConfirmClarke to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
Tell your senators (202-224-3121) to vote YES. #VotingRights #CivilRights

4) "We need to rethink what happens in school, one that thinks about school climate holistically thinks about the needs of children, and the people in the building, what makes them feel safe, and how we address conflict, which is predictable, normative age-appropriate."

[Maya Contreras @mayatcontreras]

3)"We have very predictable results in that situation, which is that we see kids escalating into either school-based discipline that happens inside the school pushing kids out of school or in some cases, arrests that take kids into the juvenile [system] into the adult system."

[Maya Contreras @mayatcontreras]

2)Julia Davis is the Director of Youth Justice and Child Welfare at the Children's Defense Fund NY. "Every single NYC school has a school safety agent, who has an NYPD employee sitting at the front door. [In NYC] we have 5500 School police, but we have 2800 guidance counselors."

1) In my new podcast episode, I have a discussion with @CDFNewYork's Julia Davis. We examine policies, including the American Rescue Act, that would aid families in America, and discuss why we must stop the punitive response that is mostly targeted to BIPOC & Disabled Children.

"Maya Contreras and others have expressed support for H.R. 1... '[GA GOP are trying to] prevent us from having a say in our democracy, to me, that is what’s at stake with GA right now. Our democracy hinges on it. I don’t feel like that’s hyperbole at all.' https://t.co/Jv6Czzlpb0

[Maya Contreras @mayatcontreras]

I feel honored to be in an article with orgainizer and @BlackVotersMtr Co-founder @MsLaToshaBrown. What's happening in GA and across the US with voter suppression bills is a threat to our democracy. Please support @fairfightaction, @NewGAProject, and @BlackVotersMtr now.

Here’s some of my interview with @FRANCE24 where I firmly dismiss the Republicans false claims of “illegal ballots” and “voter fraud” which is as rare in the United States as getting struck by lightening. To watch the rest go to: https://t.co/kxgFle5Skl (captions coming today)

Barrett’s dissent in Kanter is even worse than a dangerous belief in 2A protections for felons. She actually argues in support of virtue requirements for voting. Read the history of virtue requirements & disenfranchisement in my piece for @RewireNewsGroup https://t.co/YCbZvE5f6x

1/3 of women dont have documentation for voter IDs, 60% of women in jail are awaiting trial & can legally vote if given access, only 27% of polling places are ADA compliant. Read more in my latest for @supermajority #VoterSuppression is a woman’s issue https://t.co/aLGnO4TzVE
