I lived in Mississippi for nearly a decade as I started my career and love it and the people as much as the state I grew up in. David Dennis Jr.'s words resonated deeply for me. level.medium.com/youre-not-supp…

More than 1,500 Louisianans are serving time due to a non-unanimous jury conviction--a relic of Jim Crow. We must #EndJimCrowJuries and restore justice for all.

The #azleg House just passed #SB1064 with overwhelming bipartisan support! This is an important bill #forArizonans to begin to address the incarceration crisis and make communities safer.

As usual. Hannah Cox nails it.
