“I’m here to advocate for change. I feel like Essie is the perfect place for me to grow in that advocacy. I stand strong in doing whatever it is within my power to change and adjust these faults in the system.” — Eboni, Essie Sister #EndMassIncarceration
Significant effort is put into creating obstacles that separate incarcerated individuals from their loved ones on the outside. And it's women doing the daily work to push back against this and center connection. #EndMassIncarceration @laprogressive

Today, 3/26, yet another LASD in-custody death was posted. (thread)
