@CMargolis's new article presents the D.C. Defund MPD movement as a case study of efforts to reduce police union power. Read here: socialchangenyu.com/review/t….

"When are you going to abandon the ladder of power? When are you going to build power, rather than seek to acquire it?" So grateful to have had @nikobowie as a professor and mentor during my time at HLS. His lecture to our class is uniquely inspirational, honest, and true.

the police shot and killed a 15 year old Black girl in Columbus as the verdict was being read. She reportedly called them for help. this isn't a giant step anywhere
Today, a jury in Minnesota found former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd. The verdict is a step forward. And while nothing can ever bring George Floyd back, this can be a giant step forward on the march towards justice in America.

Some of this $$ came from employees who got paid to design jails and prisons & that profit came from the suffering of our community + our taxes. We say not in MA. We say not one more jail or prison bed ever. Withdraw from the project @HDR_Inc: #NoNewWomensPrison #LifeatHDR

More than 200,000 women and girls are incarcerated in this country — 10,000 of them in federal prisons. The #FreeHer campaign is asking President Biden to grant 100 of them clemency by the end of his first 100 days in office. trib.al/fI8UkV1
