These “Shut’em Down” demonstrations should serve as a wake up call to every person in this nation that the current jailing path does not work and it’s time to end it.

Imagine you're approved for parole, but you're still stuck in prison. For months. A new study reveals that in Texas, "in any given month *before* Covid, people remained in prison for an average of 3 to 4 months after parole approval before they were released."

Our way of expressing our reality can seem a bit harsh. Our language is never really politically correct. Our sentences not necessarily grammatically correct. To top it off we're prisoners. With all that many of you are still aiding our organizational growth. Thank you all

Ron Jacobsen is officially exonerated! He returned home to New York last November after 30 years in a Georgia prison and was awaiting a retrial, despite DNA evidence proving his innocence. All charges were dismissed this week and now Ron is truly free. bit.ly/2WzKPVv

Unhoused advocates are being asked by Fresno PD to leave for "their own safety". The community group Homeless in Fresno has been protesting Adventure Church for the past two weeks.

4 unhoused advocates were arrested early this morning by FPD and their protest tents were taken apart. Advocates have been protesting Adventure Church treatment of the unhoused. They explained to FPD that they have a right to peacefully assemble but FPD refused to listen.

❗️Fresno ❗️ If you took video of today’s Tower Theater arrests or the incidents leading up to them, DM us. Do not DM us if the video was not taken by YOU.

Your periodic reminder that posting videos of protestors including when arrests happen will compromise the security of your community and risks law enforcement consequences. Do not post photos or videos of protestors faces.
