Second chance is FAMILY. ❤️

VADOC told James his hard work would earn him a return to his family, only to reverse course at the 11th hour. People who work hard for their release should get it.

Mark returned home last September and for the first time, community gave Mark what he had never had before: the safety to embrace his gender nonconformity.

Our voices have power.

That's why legislators honored their promise to Virginians and REJECTED Gov. Youngkin's attempt to partially repeal the Earned Sentence Credit program. ✅

Join us in thanking our legislators for prioritizing PEOPLE ❤️ not prisons: action.aclu.org/send-message/v…

Charlottesville doesn't need more surveillance.

But if Council is going forward, there are a lot of questions unanswered about how the city will regulate. We can't leave those questions to the for-profit vendor. ACLU of Virginia, Justice Forward VA, & Legal Aid Justice Center wrote this to Council:
