A few years ago, we noticed there weren't a lot of stock photos of people with physical disabilities using common home safety devices like smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. That didn't make sense to us. So we did something about it. cpsc.gov/Newsroom/Multimedia…

This damning report makes it plain: the death penalty is a racist and inhumane punishment that has no place in our society. TY @ReprieveUS for spotlighting the cruelty of lethal injections. Congress must pass our bill to end the federal death penalty. theguardian.com/world/2024/a…

Activists have already delayed this project by 5 years. With your help, they can cancel it for good.
TAKE ACTION: Tell @BureauOfPrisons to stop pushing plans for a new federal prison that will further the disaster of mass incarceration, threaten the health of prisoners, and harm the unique biodiversity of Central Appalachia. Send a comment in today ⬇ bit.ly/NoNewPrisonEISComment

We couldn’t agree with Letcher County resident, Amelia Kirby more. Eastern Kentucky deserves more than profiting off of human misery. Read more about the @nonewbopprison work here bit.ly/3Ug5w43

A new prison in EDKY is a terrible idea. 1 more reason: there's no EDKY fed def office (i.e., no defenders able to fight the BOP's inevitable failure to abide by policies). It's not a new prob -- my Iowa-based clinic has taken EDKY cases for years -- but let's not make it worse.
For many years, a coalition of organizers has been fighting the construction of a new federal prison in Eastern Kentucky. And they've been winning. But as filmmaker and @NoNewBOPprison coalition member @Sylvia_Ryerson notes, the fight isn't over. inquest.org/building-communi…

Please ask Governor Beshear to expand his Executive Order and the legislature place a constitutional amendment on the ballot so that Kentuckians who have completed their sentences have their voting rights restored immediately no matter who is Kentucky’s Governor.
