Wow! Bryan Stevenson has single-handedly transformed the City of Montgomery, AL which had long resisted its central role in civil rights. “Elevation is described as a research center, convening space, art gallery, & theater with overnight accommodations.” montgomeryadvertiser.com/pic…

THANK YOU BAY AREA!!! Six years ago I came to California like so many before me: looking for adventure and a new challenge. I found that and so much more. Now it’s time to turn the page—to a familiar one. 1/10

We’ll never forget the lives we lost on September 11, 2001. Let’s continue to honor their memories, and the courage of our first responders who put themselves in harm’s way.

"Today is a powerful call to recognize the urgency of justice for those on death row, people who are disproportionately Black and brown, poor, and often sentenced through processes riddled with racial bias and systemic harm." ~ EJS President Lisa Holder #CommuteTheRow

"This action also speaks to the core of the California reparations movement. Ending the death penalty is one way we begin to address the enduring consequences of slavery, racial terror, and state-sanctioned violence."

California’s death penalty is broken, racist, costly, and inhumane. @cagovernor @GavinNewsom, the death penalty has no place in a society that values fairness, human rights, and human dignity. It’s time to #CommuteTheRow. #UniversalClemencyNow #ConfrontRacism #deathpenalty
