Thank you, @rdcjn Racial Democracy, Crime & Justice Network for an amazing 3-week fellowship--the iron-sharpening mentorship and support of the nation's top crime, justice, & equity scholars--at UMaryland-College Park. Huge thank you to Rod K. Brunson & Maria B. Velez!

Congratulations to Professors Darity and Hamilton (just featured in TIME Magazine) whose innovative policy ideas to close the wealth gap are gaining momentum!
Professor Sandy Darity has been working closely with colleague Darrick Hamilton on the idea of baby bonds. Last year, Connecticut became the first state to implement a baby bond initiative.
The policy approach is featured in @TIME

What an incredible story!
Roberta Bell is a hero! Roberta was a corrections officer when she decided to help take care of an inmate's baby! After being fired for her decision, Roberta received $90,000 in donations! Today, she’s starting a transitional home for women leaving prison! #BlackExcellence
Nov. 15 at @UofDenver @josefkorbel: Join me for snacks and a presentation about my study of 18- to 29-year-old men living in high-crime, heavily policed neighborhoods.
Check out this article from The Marshall Project and USA Today about Denver's FAST program aimed at solving more non-fatal shooting cases. My colleagues & I will soon begin evaluating DPD's program. It also mentions my Durham, NC study. usatoday.com/story/news/nati… via @usatoday

A day after of the Taliban BANNED female university education, women & girls have come out on the streets of Kabul protesting against the decree.
They chant —“Either for everyone or for no one. One for all, all for one”
Amplify their voices.
