🎉 YES! YES! YES! The ban on TAP for incarcerated people is FULLY REPEALED. This is a huge victory for all of the justice-involved advocates who have fought for years and all of the people inside who will now have access to education. #TurnOnTheTAPNY

Nowhere is the crisis of systemic racism more apparent than the intersection of mass incarceration and homelessness: Black people are 6x more likely to be incarcerated and 3x more likely to experience homelessness than white people. @NYCSpeakerAdams @KeithPowersNYC @NYCMayor

Judges keep ppl in jail if they don't have stable housing. But NYers stuck in cycles of incarceration & punishment can't get housing–it's a catch 22. @NYCSpeakerCoJo can fix this RIGHT NOW: pass #FairChanceForHousing #Intro2047 & get ppl off Rikers Island!

A 12th person has died in DOC custody THIS YEAR. The 2nd THIS WEEK. This is unacceptable. We know that people with stable housing get released quicker & are less likely to return to jail – so @NYCCouncil @NYCSpeakerCoJo, you can act now: pass #FairChanceForHousing #Intro2047

Dear @NYCSpeakerCoJo: Conviction record history should be a history – not a life sentence. No one should be denied a home because of their past. Please bring #Intro2047, @StephenLevin33’s #FairChanceForHousing Act to a vote ASAP. #HousingIsStability #HousingIsAHumanRight

Across the state, Black people are reincarcerated for technical parole violations at 5 times the rate of whites, and Latinx people are 30% more likely to be returned to prison for a technical violation. It’s time to fix w/ #LessIsMore @NYGovCuomo

Less Is More will reduce the incarceration of people for technical violations of parole + offer incentives for the successful completion of parole - limiting a needless practice that endlessly incarcerates people. @AndreaSCousins & @CarlHeastie: End the cycle! Pass #LessIsMore

NY imprisons more people for technical parole violations like missing an appointment with a parole officer, being late for curfew, or testing positive for alcohol & other drugs than any state in the country except IL. That’s outrageous. It’s time to fix w/ #LessIsMore @NYGovCuomo

Almost as if the "blue lives matter" stuff was never about loving police as much as just hating Black people.

Ending systemic racism MUST include stopping housing discrimination based on conviction records. EVERYONE deserves a home. @NYCCouncil, @NYCSpeakerCoJo - please stand with @StephenLevin33's proposal to end racist background checks in housing! #Int2047 #FairChanceforHousing

As an alumni, I am horrified by this. All alumni should stop donating until @unccharlotte takes action to #FireJohnBogdan!

The video is clear: Ahmaud Arbery was killed in cold blood. My heart goes out to his family, who deserve justice and deserve it now. It is time for a swift, full, and transparent investigation into his murder.
