I've just posted some important personal and professional news about my health crisis on my website.janemcalevey.com please read and share with relevant folks in our struggle for justice. My best to you all--

🚨Important Reminder 🚨

From today, all workers (21+) must be paid (at least) £11.44 per hour.

£8.60 (18-20y/o)
£6.40 (16/17y/o)

While this is nowhere near where it needs to be, it is still the biggest increase (10-21%) to minimum wage in its 25 year history.

Louise Powell, whose baby Brooke died in prison, is glad that the court system is changing for pregnant women:

“If my daughter Brooke had been born in the community, she would be here today. No woman should have to give birth behind bars.”

🎉HUGE NEWS! Pregnancy is now a mitigating factor in sentencing! Courts must consider a woman’s health & that all pregnancies in prison are high-risk.
