We learned today that the MA legislature - Joint Committee on Election Laws voted to not move the bill to REINSTATE the right to vote to incarcerated people. Registered voters of the Commonwealth of MA should have the right to vote no matter where they live. Taking the right to vote away from incarcerated people in 2020 was an act of oppression and control that disproportionately affects black and brown communities and is tantamount to further entrenching a caste system in the state.

More than 50% of people in state prisons are punished at least 1x/year for misconduct, and almost all of them face harsh sanctions like solitary confinement. Prison discipline is a system of petty tyranny with devastating consequences. prisonpolicy.org/reports/discip…

The thing about philanthropy is that those individuals and organizations that are funded through philanthropic channels are doing some of the hardest work on the planet .. seeking justice and fairness and equity .., and that job is a real job. Billionaires are leaving the criminal law space and it’s happening all at the same time ..:We’re still here doing the work to move mountains to create a better, safer, more sustainable and equitable world for us all. We will keep the light on.

@MSNBC you’ve covered two stories on clemency this morning and still have not said anything about the people like Michelle West, having surpassed her 32nd years of incarceration for a drug conspiracy case, who would never have received that sentence today. @POTUS please commute those sentences

@Democrats continue to ignore the millions of people whose lives and economics have been ruined by a draconian criminal law system that clearly is not just. Free the people in federal and state prisons for decades, particularly for drug convictions. Women and men like Michelle West and Glenn Metz who now surpassed 30 years of federal incarceration @POTUS @VP Clemency NOW!!!!
