Thank you for your visit @RepTroyCarter and @RepJeffries. We are grateful for politicians like you for uplifting the importance of reentry support in which legal and social barriers do not hinder citizens from success. We have a long way to go, but together we are stronger!
I toured @First72Plus, one of the most successful re-entry programs in the U.S., with @RepJeffries. We NEED #ReEntry methods that create productive citizens for themselves, their families, & the community at large. I will continue working to secure them for #LA02.

NEW REPORT: The # of people in prison & jail doesn’t even begin to capture the reach of the criminal justice system in the US. We provide a more complete picture by including the # of people under probation/parole - systems that often replicate prison conditions in the community.

Watch this short film about Calvin Duncan’s decades long fight to get the Supreme Court to end racist laws that allow Black jurors to be silenced. He won. And then we got to work with him to ensure people actually got free. Produced this film:
