"This is not a partisan issue. This is not a democratic or republican issue a left versus right issue a progressive versus conservative issue. This is an American issue." - Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) #EQUALAct #EndtheDisparity

4 years ago today, the U.S. Senate voted to approve the First Step Act. Today, Senate leadership, after denying a vote on the EQUAL Act, is struggling to get a deal on a compromise that can be added to another bill. #EndTheDisparity

Nonstop media coverage of how Elon Musk is treating journalists unfairly. Crickets about Congress preparing to turn its back on 7,500 families separated by an unfair and racially discriminatory cocaine sentencing law.

⏰ Time is RUNNING OUT, Congress! Remetta is challenging you to fix the disparity between crack cocaine and powder cocaine before the end of the legislative session. Senator Dick Durbin Chuck Schumer Chuck Grassley Cory Booker Hakeem Jeffries @RepArmstrongND #EQUALact #EndtheDisparity

The fact the EQUALACT isn’t the talk of every Black and Brown household is a huge problem!!!

Why isn’t #PASSTHEEQUALACTANDMAKEITRETROACTIVEVIRAL?????????????????

Congress set to tackle crack, powder cocaine sentencing disparity before year’s end (via The Hill) #EndtheDisaprity #EQUALact thehill.com/policy/finance…

This is our chance to come together to make substantial improvements to our criminal justice system. This is our chance to fix one of the worst policies to come out of the failed war on drugs: the crack-powder disparity. Congress needs to finish this job. (via Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸)

Rundown of the #EQUALAct: - passed the House with 361 votes - has a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate - broad bipartisan support + endorsed by police + civil rights organizations It would a glaring injustice if the Senate doesn’t pass this legislation. #EndTheDisparity

Unacceptable. Shameful. Outrageous. And, most of all, heartbroken for our families who have suffered the most because of this racist and indefensible disparity. To our families, do not lose FAITH or lose HOPE. We will fight until the battle is won. #EndtheDisparity #EQUALact

This is very disheartening but not surprising at all!Men and women are suffering from abuse in prison at the hands of racist correctional officers, rotten food and dangerous living conditions, most of these people have decades left to do. Happy Holidays to the senate 1000s wont

Since we're talking about prison (mostly because of Trump), let's talk about the EQUAL Act. I just published Crack Babies United: Why all 80s Babies Should Care About the EQUAL Act link.medium.com/EGLpO953Uvb #prisonreform #criminalreferrals #EQUALact

We are extremely disappointed that the Senate failed to include the bipartisan and commonsense EQUAL Act in the omnibus bill, but we will continue the fight to pass this bipartisan and commonsense bill.

The #EQUALAct named first in top 3 “incredibly popular” things excluded from this omnibus bill. Allow a vote as an amendment and let’s make things right here Chuck Schumer newrepublic.com/post/169661/3-…

Democrats control the House and Senate. There were no criminal justice reform provisions in the omnibus, except for a two-year extension of emergency authority for the DEA to schedule fentanyl-related substances.

Im very disappointed they couldn’t pull it through! More disappointed that social media platforms that have black and brown followers didn’t push it but pushed distractors that do nothing for our community, This unfair system has torn our families apart so long it’s accepted 😢
