I was awarded by the CT Black and Puerto Rican Caucus in the State of Connecticut, in recognition on my work REFORM Alliance and for advocacy on the First Step Act (which, to date has freed 25k people from federal prison).
I couldn't be more honored.

Building power & community through storytelling is 1 of the most effective forms of advocacy available to us in my opinion.

Launching the first training with the ACLU Hawai‘i affiliate is going to be transformative!

Super excited to be in my new role at the ACLU as a Community and Coalition Storyteller and supporting our affiliate in Hawaii with their 2022 Reentry Summit. #reentrymatters

A message of solidarity in an email I just received from a man incarcerated in Attica: 'The people of Attica #StandWithUkraine ! If there's anything we can do to help from in here please let me know so I can tell other people.'

Dividing #JerseyCity into 3 legislative districts as proposed by the dem map would do a disservice to residents of the single most diverse city in NJ + hurt our large immigrant communities. This makes little sense and should be changed

IMO reentry will matter to the 1000s of folks being released from all the hard work done by amazing people! There’s still work on the table though. People need access to the highest quality of freedom possible and protection from recidivism. #firststepact instagram.com/p/CY7pgIUNvX3/…

I want to encourage us today concerning voting rights legislation.

There is hope. We have yet to engage as fully as we can. And there are people remaining to be won over to the cause.

I know it looks bleak, but lift your heads, spread ways to help, and keep the faith.

As prisons and jails are stopping in-person visits to stop the spread of COVID.

Can you instead make your staff where masks, get vaccinated and allow those who are incarcerated to do the same.

I’m grateful for this opportunity to work for & with the residents of House District 42 striving to make KY a more just & equitable state for us all. Please donate to my campaign today & help me make a difference! donate.campaigndeputy.com/keturahherron

#BREAKING The Texas National Guard has been called to 4 of the state's youth prisons because so many of the regular staff have covid.

Universal basic income programs could help eliminate some of the metaissues associated with poverty and criminal justice in local and state jurisdictions. IMO of course 🤷🏾‍♂️
