Several great jurists who I know are former public defenders. They bring a perspective that is much needed and adds to the fairness and impartiality of the bench. #Judges #GideonsPromise #CriminalJustice #CriminalLegalSystem #PublicDefenders #PublicDefense

OK, then I have a recommendation for you #GideonsPromise. I’m a little biased because it’s written by my brother @jrapping. 💙Although I am always reading your posts with interest. Being raised in Pittsburgh and living in Arizona sort of makes you a bona fide sports fan!

.Jonathan Blanks reviews new book from Georgetown Law's Abbe Smith. "Guilty People is a candid peek into the messy machinery of the daily work involved in criminal adjudication--something I recommend more of us take the time to reflect upon." #GideonsPromise clause40.org/blog/f/%E2%80%…

Thought for law students: When the best of our profession no longer yearn to prosecute and judge others, and instead commit to amplifying voices of people who have never been heard, the law can finally become a vehicle to help achieve justice. #publicdefender #GideonsPromise

Today, I get to point out the structural and institutional biases of the criminal justice system in America. Excited but nervous. #changingthesystem #pd #gideonspromise #publicdefender #Injustice

Happy #publicdefenseday to all my fellow Public Defender paralegals, attorneys, and legal support staff! #gideonspromise #publicdefenders #knowyourrights

Jon Stewart - I am generally a fan but on this topic you are woefully misinformed if the first thing you think of when you see bad lawyering is a public defender. When supported there are none better! #GideonsPromise

Hope to see more attorneys with the courage to confront the systematic oppression of indigent people just like Andrew Willey of #Texas did. #GideonsPromise #RestoringJustice #BlackLawTwitter #CivilRights #WashingtonDC #Maryland #Virginia #California #Florida #NewYork #42USC1983

We just received a copy of #GideonsPromise !!! Written by justice sensei & our brother Jonathan Rapping!!! Always excited to build with Gideon's Promise fam to create a movement of defenders & communities fighting for liberation of our people! Pick up a copy of this right on time book!

Excited about #GideonsPromise by Jonathan Rapping. Public defenders play a crucial role in the justice system. I’m grateful for Rap and his dedication to training justice-minded PDs who care about their clients and believe that race and income shouldn’t determine innocence or guilt.

.Jonathan Rapping says “public defenders are the only vehicle through which judges and prosecutors can see defendants as fully human, so they don't act on stereotypes.” He wrote #GideonsPromise to show just how important #publicdefense programs are. buff.ly/33r59Ib

.Jonathan Rapping's #GideonsPromise serves as an oasis within a hardened sociopolitical landscape punctuated by heightened racial animus and a pandemic the likes America hasn’t seen since the Spanish Flu outbreak 100 yrs ago. It's the book of the moment! buff.ly/3280CuI

For Jonathan Rapping, the conflux of the pandemic, police brutality & #BLM protests has produced a new, unprecedented reckoning of awareness. His book #GideonsPromise puts us on that path of reckoning. Gideon's Promise #cjreform buff.ly/33r59Ib
