"I believe that it’s very important to remember what has happened, but it’s also important to use that information to move forward and to demand better... We are trying to create a place where healing can happen." —@CTJMFoundation, to @bytamarsarai prismreports.org/2024/08/28/…

In Chicago, a public memorial is the first step toward reparations for survivors of police torture. @bytamarsarai and @CTJMFoundation talked about how memorials preserve history, shape public memory, & allow us to meditate on histories of violence. prismreports.org/2024/08/28/…

This is devastating and horrible. RIP. There is no climate justice without abolition. Free them all.
Michael Broadway, a Black man incarcerated at Stateville prison in Illinois, died last Wednesday, partly due to extreme heat. While incarcerated, he earned a degree from Northwestern. A reminder that the climate crisis is here. Even if you don’t feel it, the most vulnerable do.
