Rikers Island is named after Richard Riker, a former judge in NY, who was a member of the "Kidnapper's Club". He would work with people who would kidnap free Black men women & children, send them to his court & sentence them back into slavery #CloseRikers #NoNewJails #MassBailout

When the DA’s heard about the #massbailout they had an emergency meeting about setting bail even higher / remanding folks so they cannot be bailed out at all. This clearly shows how invested the DAs, racist courts and city govt are in the caging & slavery of Black & Brown people.
“Rikers Island has got to go!” Revolutionary abolitionist groups involved in @MASSBAILOUTNYC take to the streets in Brooklyn today to demand #CloseRikers #NoNewJails #MassBailout

Speaker at the #MassBailout rally in Brooklyn earlier talked about how they’re going to connect the people they bail out to resources & social services & also how the media has tried to fear monger about the #MassBailout.
