I’m super excited to announce my commitment to Bucknell! Special thanks for the Bucknell coaching staff for this amazing opportunity and to my parents, coaches and teammates for getting me to where I am today. Go Bison! 🦬🦬

🧵🇭🇹I just spent the past week in #Haiti with @NathalyeCo, documenting the country’s dire human rights & humanitarian crises and meeting with leaders of the new transitional government, the @MSSMHaiti, Haitian civil society, victims & others. Here are some reflections ⤵️

@PrepBaseMAS @PrimeTimeBSBLL Looks great!

While the settlement is welcome, it can't replace real accountability+efforts to address deep, systemic problems with policing in the US that require comprehensive change. The demands of protesters after the police killing of George Floyd in 2020 are still all too relevant today:

In our report, we warned that New York City would end up paying out millions to settle lawsuits - and that taxpayers would ultimately foot the bill for abusive policing. The lawsuit this week is one of several settled already: hrw.org/news/2023/03/0…

New York City reached a $13.7 million settlement on behalf of people arrested+attacked by the police during protests in 2020. While the settlement will be the largest ever paid to protesters, it's no substitute for systemic change. situ.nyc/research/proje…

So humbled to partner with these amazing professionals as we continue to redefine who gets to interrogate algorithms & their impact on communities around the world. Join us on June 2 to learn more about joining our AI accountability fellowships.

So proud of this team! 🙌
