Grateful to the @COAttnyGeneral for investing in #publicsafety via community #reentry initiatives. Building a #FairOpportunityEmployer network will allow for people coming home to get great jobs and will help #coloradobusinesses address the labor crisis. 9news.com/article/news/local…

We have no idea how many people are suffering silently. Heartbroken. 43 years old. Chadwick Boseman is beloved by so many & my heart is with his family. Everybody needs to take a breath. Look around you. Love, laugh, forget about all the petty shit and remember life is short.

#decarceration is a way to address the rapid spread of #covid in correctional settings and support the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Read my op-ed as a call to action for ⁦@GovofCO⁩. denverpost.com/2020/08/21/co…
Guest commentary: If Black lives matter to him, Polis needs to reduce prison population

Guest commentary: If Black lives matter to him, Polis needs to reduce prison population

Black people living behind bars face a racist double whammy – because of their blackness they are more likely to be imprisoned, more likely to get COVID, and more likely to die from the virus.

Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible––and there is still so much work to do. nytimes.com/2020/06/18/opini…

The United States dwarfs peer countries in civilian deaths by police, adjusting for population size. This is a result of policies and practices that enable and encourage police violence – not just "a few bad apples" prisonpolicy.org/blog/2020/0…
Not just “a few bad apples”: U.S. police kill civilians at much higher rates than other countries

Not just “a few bad apples”: U.S. police kill civilians at much higher rates than other countries

Police violence is a systemic problem in the U.S., not simply incidental, and it happens on a scale far greater than other wealthy nations.
