Feels good to see all the positive changes people are making inside instead of only spreading hate.

Thank you, Governor Gavin Newsom, for commuting 12 LWOP sentences. It's a step in the right direction. Let's build on this progress and advocate for more compassionate decisions to ensure second chances. #SecondChancesStrongerCommunities

Grateful of CA Governor Newsom has provided clemency for 18 individuals. Giving them a second chance at life. Recognizing the capacity for growth and change.
May the hope be infectious. Leading to more opportunities for 2024. @SCSCNow gov.ca.gov/2024/03/29/gov…

88% of Alabamians support Second chance legislation! Fantastic news for HB 29. I hope legislators in ALGOP are listening. #alpolitics #secondchances #redemption

As someone who fought hard to change my life and heal in prison serving LWOP. This article really resonates with me. #DropLWOP

Proud to work side by side Allen both as we earned degrees and help educate on LWOP and the need for second chances.

Ursula deserves to be given a fair chance to return to her community. She is a leader in her inside community and will be an asset when she is released here in California. Do the right thing Newsom.

Michele is so right we have to do something to create change. People should not be thrown away. Rehabilitate and rebuild and Release.

Shocking! Louisiana has mandatory sentence of LWOP for 2nd degree murder. The purpose of measuring degrees are to determine intent, culpability, and participation. Lowering the standard is NOT JUSTICE. #SecondChancesStrongerCommunities

I’m so heartened by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s decision today to ban life without parole sentences for those under 21. Science and experience tell us that young people have great capacity for change. This decision gives room for redemption. wbur.org/news/2024/01/1…

David Carrillo holds a position that is extremely rare in prison: He’s an incarcerated professor teaching in a prison bachelor’s degree program through Adam’s State. He is one of the first to be employed in Colorado as an incarcerated professor. chalkbeat.org/colorado/2024/…

It felt good to help talk about the smart solutions that will change this cycle of lies that incarceration is the answer. We need healing communities no more prisons. #DropLWOP @SCSCNow

HAPPENING NOW: On the very first day of the 2024 NY Legislative Session, family members of incarcerated New Yorkers as well as a formerly incarcerated New Yorkers are in the Capitol calling for prompt passage of #ParoleJusticeNY and our entire justice and safety agenda.

Join us at Oakland Federal Courthouse this Friday @ NOON for a press conference re: our class action lawsuit against Dublin and important hearings currently taking place. If you're free, stop by for court support anytime today thru Friday! 💜

Those whose sentences were commuted represent a fraction of state’s 4,000+ lifers. Most were in prison 3 or 4 decades or more & records indicate clear evidence of remorse & rehabilitation. They were thoroughly vetted by an open, public process & have proven worthy of a 2nd chance

Check out this article that shows what happens when you let children incarcerated for decades in prison out. Love watching all the success. #DropLWOP @SCSCNow

What is a 10/6 lifer you ask? Check out this report by Jessica Schulberg HuffPost if you are curious how some people have been incarcerated decades longer than the state promised. huffpost.com/entry/life-sen…
