Standing with @PowerDignity Philly in their push to free incarcerated people on the state level! act.colorofchange.org/sign/release-l… cc @GovernorTomWolf

Today, we launched our joint campaign with @phillybailfund calling on the Judges of the Philadelphia Municipal Court to: Vote NO on reappointing Magistrates Francis Bernard and Robert Stack #NoToBernard #NoToStack Appoint Magistrates who will not impose cash bail #EndCashBail

Unfazed, unrelenting, Avis Lee believed in her own freedom; she is her own liberator. Period. No praise for Wolf, only mad love for the organizers, friends, families, donors, lawyers + survivors of state violence who were guided by her own vision of emancipation. @vivamarilynbuck

Rooted in an Islamic ethos of social justice, PMFF operates in alliance with local bail funds and is informed by lived and living experiences of Muslim prisoners and stakeholders. PMFF is uniquely positioned to serve the diasporic Philly Muslim and Muslim American communities.

Welcome to the seventh installment of Everyday Philadelphians Want to #DefundThePolice! LISTEN as Brenda Harris explains that people in her neighborhood need good paying jobs and that instead of spending so much on police we should spread that money to housing and rec centers.

This afternoon we finsihed posting bail for our 2020 Youth Bail Out. Your support helped us reunite 8 children with their families. We paid $60,060 in ransom to free them. #PresentsNotPrisons #EndCashBail

We are disappointed with today’s U.S. 3rd Circuit appeals court decision. We remain confident that the law was not intended to force Americans to stand by as idle witnesses while our brothers and sisters are dying. Conscience compels us to pursue all legal options, and we shall.

TWITTER BANS TRUMP!!!!! This is a victory for all the organizations and individuals who have been calling for this for the last 5 years. blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…

BREAKING: @Twitter has suspended President Donald Trump. Today’s news, while a day late and a dollar short, is welcome. We urge other social-media companies to follow suit immediately. freepress.net/news/press-rel…

I worry about the next 12 days, but to me the most persuasive reason to impeach now is so he’s unable to run again. We have short memories, and Trump running again is an existential threat to America and the world. Because he could win.

Judges, @PhilaCourts, what are you doing to protect our people from the pandemic in Philly jails? Give us virtual access to ALL hearings, we need #EyesOnFJD #FreeOurPeople

Hey @PhilaCourts: you stopped bringing our incarcerated neighbors to court, fearing how quickly COVID is spreading in the jails. But you’re willing to let them sit in cages where they are completely vulnerable to a deadly disease. Shame! #FreeOurPeople #InactionIsMurder

The best solutions come from within our communities, not outside of them. Share your thoughts on how you think the city should invest its resources to build safe communities: movementalliance.org/swcf/?utm_sour… #SafetyWeCanFeel
