"The life histories of people in prison are more often than not characterised by a toxic mix of state abandonment and state violence" excluded from schools, proper housing, health care, social services, placed in and out of care, etc. @oonskie independent.co.uk/voices/boris-j…

Victims of violence in the UK are more likely to receive punishment from the criminal justice system than they are to receive justice: 29% of incarcerated adults experienced abuse as children and 53% of women in prison are survivors of domestic violence.

Policing & criminalisation are racialised, classed & gendered practices. The prison system disproportionately punishes people of colour, disabled people, those in the care system & the mentally ill. Building prisons incentivises more penalising treatment of these communities.

While communities experience cuts to social services, housing, education and health care, private companies like Kier Group make millions off of the construction and operations of UK prisons. They make the political choice to invest and profit from mass incarceration.

Imagine if the billions used to arrest, terrorize, prosecute and imprison those who have experienced state violence and abandonment were instead used to address the growing social and economic inequalities in our communities! SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRISON EXPANSION!

Sister not Cister: a fight to be safe freedomnews.org.uk/sister-not-cis…

Emergency noise demo outside HMP Pentonville today at 8pm. A comrade is being held on remand. Being a trans woman in a male prison, and struggling with extreme dissociative states, her immediate safety is in doubt. She's on hunger strike since Monday. Please share & bring noise.

No to transphobia on the left! Stop WPUK event at Labour conference. Protest on Monday! (Sorry, original post said today.) Social media blockade: m.facebook.com/events/5662747… No platform for bigots! #TWT19 #LabourConference2019 pic.x.com/4cNrBQeLFT

Our next assembly is going to be this Sunday and we're in Dewsbury this time - we hope to see some of you lovely lot 😊 Please do come along if you're able to, for a great discussion on anti fascism and to share ideas for the demonstration.facebook.com/events/5021694…

solidarity with Community Action on Prison Expansion who are currently taking over the SODEXO lobby in central london to protest the recent murder of a baby in Bronzefield prison #NoMorePrisons

It's really disappointing and frustrating to see a barrister at Garden Court Chambers - a group of people I work with really closely all the time - actively supporting the erasure of trans people from the LGBTQ+ community. Human rights aren't for some people, they're for everyone

#LGBAlliance make us sick 🤮🤮 You don't speak for many LG & B people, many who are are T as well. Get to this demo on Nov 2nd if you can.

Stand up to transphobic hate group WPUK in Oxford, tonight! ✊🏳️‍🌈

This transphobe, who is suddenly a champion for black women, wrote an article arguing that white women shouldn't be blamed for white supremacy. So forgive me, if I question her commitment to anti-racism, beyond defending a fellow transphobe (who happens to be a black female).

“The only just way to end overcrowding in prisons is mass decarceration” newint.org/features/2019/… We wrote about our action against KIER last Friday and why Labour’s pledges don’t go far enough

Two women arrested for working together for safety are being charged as tenants with “permitting premises to be used for prostitution". Please use our template letter to write & demand this prosecution be dropped immediately: prostitutescollective.net/2019/12/action… #MakeAllWomenSafe
