New book out by @eletourn and @bylukemalone is an absolute game changer in preventing CSA before it happens. As one in five on both sides, this is the book we all need to take seriously as a guide to strategies that work, not just sound tough. amzn.to/4z5R6oK

113 million U.S. adults have an immediate family member who has ever been to prison or jail.
As the holidays approach, it's hard not to think of the millions of people currently separated from their loved ones by prison & jail cells.

People on the registry rely on SNAP and LIHEAP benefits because of their strong likelihood unemployment and underemployment. How can people rebuild, succeed, and contribute to society when they’re constantly getting beaten down by a broken system?! #Stuckin1995
Due to the federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits will not be paid until the federal government provides funding for SNAP, and we are unable to begin the 2025-26 LIHEAP season.

Pennsylvanians can find local assistance for food and other needs at the following websites: pa-navigate.org, pa211.org, feedingpa.com, search “utility assistance” at puc.pa.gov. Pennsylvanians can also contact their utility providers directly to find out what programs are available to help with utility costs.

“People who are willing to do the work, get better, learn from their mistakes, make amends and pay their debt to society deserve the opportunity to be a full member of it if we're willing to be bold, take a stand & ensure we are making evidence-based policies" - @RepKinkead

“Too many times this issue seems too difficult for legislators to get their heads around & they want to continue that 30-year-old approach. Despite this, we need to modernize the registry to allow individuals who no longer pose a risk to be removed from the list" - @RepBriggs
