"I’m a parent of high school kids. If there was evidence to show that #schoolpoliceofficers would make their school safer I would be all for it but at the end of the day there’s literally no evidence to show that police in schools make #schoolssafer" @marc4justice @ErinBurnett

Replying to @UnCommLaw
@UnCommLaw’s new campaign is leveraging the power of stories to complicate and question our responses to violence; responses which too often perpetuate cycles of harm. Thank you for centering these voices!
Nearly 3 million children in the US have incarcerated parents. Our current response to violent crime perpetuates a cycle of harm that can have lasting impacts on families and communities for generations. Support our work reimagining responses to violence: uncommonlaw.org/how-we-heal

“When we share stories of mothers, fathers & children incarcerated - when we speak with humanity & emotion - we can see ourselves & our family members in the people who are incarcerated.” - @NnekaTapia talks about #HolisticSafety at @ABFE #Harambee2022

What makes a city safe? The answer isn’t police or prisons. In a new paper for @square1justice, the ever brilliant @A_S_Alexander and I offer up strategies to address violence at its core: bit.ly/SQ1SafeCities
“Justice demands integrity. It’s to have a moral universe — not only know what is right or wrong but to put things in perspective, weigh things. Justice is different from violence and retribution; it requires complex accounting.” Rest in power bell hooks!

So well done. Crucial addition needed: Olive the Other Reindeer.
My son’s preliminary Christmas movie viewing list. [Solid choices, but Emmet Otter needs to be *way* higher up.] What are we leaving off here?

🧵: Communicating with loved ones is a lifeline for incarcerated people, especially during the holidays, and is out of reach for too many. This #JusticeFirst, we’re highlighting the high #CostOfConnecting and efforts to make it easier.

#VotingRights are what "reckoning" looks like IRL! Join @square1justice this Monday at noon ET to consider the future of our democracy with @Vivian_D_Nixon @WesternBruce @DarylAtkinson7 @daplaw123 and @JamalSimmons #JusticeIsTheNextNormal
For centuries, America stripped the voting rights of Black and Brown Americans in the name of “punishment.” Join us Monday at 12 PM ET for our virtual town hall about reckoning with the racist past of our legal system bit.ly/3ppIdWr
