🚨PEOPLE: It is really happening. The Minneapolis City Council *just* announced their intent to disband the Police Department & replace it w/ a new community-led system that truly prioritizes the safety & health of community. Transformation. Not “reform.”theappeal.org/minneapolis-ci…

Formerly incarcerated women lead by @justicehealing have been seeking a meeting with our governor @CharlieBakerMA since March. More than ever, Baker needs to listen to the experts on incarceration, the women who have been in his jails & prison. Take action tinyurl.com/maweekofaction

1/2 Speaking to MPLS harm reductionists/street medics on USU call right now about supplies to send---they want ppl to amplify again that the bystander/accessory cop said "this is what happens when you use drugs" while murdering him.(Toxicology showed nothing but maybe weed).

🚨Buying cell phones, SIM cards, group plans & lock-boxes for survival #sexworker members on #methadone to be eligible for take-homes are important often overlooked needs for folks who are unhoused/under-housed. Having a working phone & take homes makes life so much easier 💸👇

👇 Damn right. We STILL get "well meth is different cuz ..." Just like we got "well opioids are different cuz ..." for so long (& often still do) from some drug policy academics & harm reduction-leaning medical providers.

This is entirely the fault of @MACorrections All of this unnecessary sickness and suffering. DOC totally refused to release even elderly and sick women, AND completely mismanaged the prison by screwing up quarantine units, waiting to test, and this brutal ineffective lockdown.

MCI Framingham now has highest number of prisoners testing positive for coronavirus of any Massachusetts prison. DOC reports today 66 prisoners tested positive - up from 28 prisoners yesterday. 14 staff there also positive.
