Please understand that calling the police on someone experiencing a crisis does more to calm your own stress and fear and sense of helplessness than it does to help the person in crisis. It is primarily a way for *supporters* to find relief.

"Abolitionists have been tasked with reminding people in the 21st century that we live in a society, that we are interdependent. You're not an island, & you have got to be in a place where you understand that other people's lives matter as much as yours." https://t.co/vIHJuaqq5Z

When we say we must defund and divest from policing, that includes the soft police! Want to learn more about what that means? Join our co-founders @prisonculture and @dreanyc123, and a stacked line-up, for this conversation on Monday Feb. 13 at 5:30 PM ET! https://t.co/3WfoDNjCvq

[GoodKidsMadCity @GKMC18]

Tomorrow, please show Tyre Nichols’s family some grace. Don’t believe Biden/Democrats/liberals calling for empty reforms while increasing police budgets. Understand those same powers killed forest defender Tortuguita & are labeling freedom fighters at #StopCopCity terrorist!

We're seeing and hearing about burnout on a greater and greater scale. And the truth is that self-care isn't enough. We need community care to the greatest extent, and that means systemic change. Because this current system is robbing us of the ability to care for each other.

[Heidi Priebe ⛰️☀️ @HeidiPriebe1]

Setting boundaries, if you have an avoidant attachment style, requires you to get clear with others - often for the 1st time - about who you are & what matters to you. This means running the risk of finding out that people like their fantasy version of you better than actual you.

[Amplify RJ - Restorative Justice @amplifyrj]

"Recognizing that my actions and my words have impacts on others. In the moments when I cause offense or harm, it is my responsibility to own up to them and try to make it better."

- Crystal Catalan on how to foster healthy relationships.#RestorativeJustice #TRJLEP101

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Please take a moment this weekend to think about how the U.S. puts Black people in cages 6 times the rate of South Africa at height of Apartheid. Almost all people caged in the U.S. are poor. Think about how these horrors have been normalized and justified by the news you hear.
