As the 2024 Leading with Conviction™ 10th Anniversary cohort gets ready to kick off with its first (virtual) forum this weekend, take a look back at this announcement for the historic, inaugural LwC cohort in January 2015!

#JLUSAstrong #10Years #ThrowbackThursday

We must pass the Justice Roadmap NY 2024! I’m ready to vote for Elder Parole (A.203) and Fair and Timely Parole (A.162). These bills would allow NYers who have served their time & earned their release to re-enter society w/out threatening public safety #ParoleJusticeNY

GETTING STARTED: We're rallying with NYS BPHA Legislative Caucus 1199SEIU💫, crime survivors, violence interrupters and more to celebrate work by formerly incarcerated people to improve community safety & demand passage of #ParoleJusticeNY to bring home more leaders.

Re-upping this incredibly beautiful love story with two important lessons:

1 - If a man isn't writing your contact info on his pant leg to stay in touch, drop him!

2 - We need everyone on board to get rid of outdated sentencing laws. Join us! secure.everyaction.com/8z6r3agIGEGi2K…

NEW: Slate features Center for Community Alternatives & #CommunitiesNotCages organizer, Thomas Gant: 'As I told my wife the stories of my friends in prison & the issues we were facing, the two of us started working together to act as a bridge between the inside and the outside.'

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours
