The Correctional Facility Disaster Preparedness Act, a federal bill informed by #JustUs policy recommendations has passed in the House of Representatives! Bipartisan support of this bill highlights the commonsense nature of protecting incarcerated people. ow.ly/AmJb50JX4zS

@glennEmartin I hear this, Glenn. How people treat those who can do nothing for them is a sign of true inner character.
@TonyFunchess The Maya Angelou school was founded by a group of DC citizens concerned about opportunities for youth in DC. They operate the schools in DC’s juvenile justice systems, and the Young Adult Learning Center, for those outside who need their GED seeforever.org
"Black people deserve to live free of fear... Where we are actually safe... the system we need is to reinvest in a shared vision of community safety, infrastructure, and recovery that does not rely on the police." @Mvmnt4BlkLives #JusticeForJayland #JaylandWalker #BeyondPolicing

Being a leader requires being confident enough in your own decisions and those of your team to own them when they fail. The very best leaders take the blame but share the credit.
I am glad to see that @POTUS and @VP have called Cherelle Griner about #BrittneyGriner. This is an important step today. We will continue to call on this administration to do everything in its power to bring her home. #WinWithBlackWomen #WeAreBG #bringbrittneyhome
HUNTED & KILLED
JLUSA President & CEO @MzDeHoskins spoke with @CNN about the murder of Jayland Walker and the trauma of seeing yet another Black man hunted and killed by police, despite years-long frustration and calls from advocates for change. ow.ly/NPaF50JQOQp

"We won’t see any meaningful change until those who benefit directly from white supremacy take a stand for the liberation of others." Read the latest from #CommsInst alum @VenkaylaHaynes of @BlackVotersMtr for @Forbes #VotingRights #BuffaloMassacre ow.ly/XX0n50JOJuG
We spend more on policing, prosecutions, & prisons than any other society in the history of the word & yet since 2009, we have had 273 mass shootings, 1526 people shot & killed, & 980 people shot & wounded. “American exceptionalism.” everytownresearch.org/maps/mass-shoo…
Every time police arrest a white mass shooter alive & w/o shooting is an another powerful reason to reject the police “in fear for their lives” justification and narrative after shooting & killing a Black person, whether unarmed or actually armed.

Videos confirm that 25 year old Jayland Walker was alive, unarmed, & running away from police when they unleashed *60 bullets into his body.* But the @nytimes still had "questions." And spendt over 1000 words focusing on a gun cops claim was in his car. nytimes.com/2022/07/03/us/…
