Thank you @huwaidaarraf for helping Henry all these years. It is deep in my soul and prayers we are able to bring Henry home.

The weight of this prison stamp can't go unnoticed:
It comes from a man, Henry Hence, who has his maintained innocence since 1979, 45 years. He is now 72.
When is enough, enough? USA FOREVER is cruel if we continue as we have. I hope @KamalaHarris leans into prison reform 🇺🇲🇺🇲

At what point is elder abuse @MichiganDOC not enough to let elders go home to live out their lives in dignity. Much wisdom is lost behind those steel bars. @GovWhitmer @LtGovGilchrist

Just got off the phone with Donald Williams, he has been incarcerated for a crime he has maintained innocence for 46+ years. Today is his birthday, he had a stroke last week, and @GovWhitmer denied his commutation 2 months ago. Hard to make any sense of it all on days like this.

Over 10,000 children killed by bombs made, paid for and delivered by our nation. Make it stop!

These are transformational juvenile justice reform bills. But, our work isn't done. That's why a coalition of organizations called on the Michigan Senate to pass HB 4360 to ensure children in MI have access to attorneys, as required by the Constitution: tinyurl.com/bde2xed8

'You Promised' cannabis expungement and @POTUS supports.

Last year, @potus called on state governors to follow his lead in issuing mass pardons to those convicted of cannabis possession offenses on the state level.
Most have (so far) chosen not to act. 🧵

It was an honor for our team to have the opportunity to work closely with him on the release campaigns of Michigan constituents Michael Thompson and Rudi Gammo. Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Rick Thompson, former Executive Director for Michigan NORML. Rick was a tireless advocate for cannabis justice reform and fought to successfully legalize cannabis in Michigan.

Michigan – this is our first town hall of MANY!
As Senator, doing the hard work to represent Michigan won’t stop me from listening to the communities I’m fighting to serve!

BREAKING: The Detroit police department has wrongly arrested another person based on a faulty facial recognition match — this time an 8-month pregnant Black woman.
This is the third known wrongful arrest from this department for a false facial recognition match in three years.
