It’s time for a new conversation in this country—a shift from punishment as a way to solve problems to restoration and redemption. I’ll be tuning in to watch the #RedemptionProject. Join me!https://twitter.com/vanjones68/status/1122178673426206720 …

When people say “this isn’t who we are” when referencing violence and the US I be like but how you think we got here tho? It’s a hundred percent who we are. We should change that, but it starts with being honest. #SheThePeople2020

Cuz you know. All of us are endorsing candidates. In the primary and the general. We are registering voters, sharing what we learn with voters, and turning voters out. What we aren’t doing is going for the okey doke. So let’s do this!

What’s important about the ways your campaign is engaging the communities I care about? How many black folks are in the leadership of your campaign infrastructure?

How will you make sure a growing cannabis economy doesn’t leave behind the survivors of the War on Drugs?

I’ll be looking for candidates who can address the issues we care about through the lens of how we experience them. Not just “the middle class” whatever that is but like whatchu gonna do to make sure Black people in the South can access affordable and quality health care?

I’ll be looking for candidates who can discuss how to make democracy strong so that everyone can participate.

Black families face a wide range of hardships exacerbated by race, class, gender, disability, age, sexuality, etc. So I’ll be looking for candidates to talk about how to address the fact that Black women are the fastest growing population in prisons and jails.

Truth be told if anyone gets up there talkin bout mass incarceration but doesn’t want incarcerated people to vote we got a problem on our hands. These are the kinds of details I’m looking for—beyond talking points, how do you understand the issues facing us?

I’m headed to #SheThePeople with my crew from #CareInAction and @blk2thefutureaction — and I have plenty of questions on my mind. Lots I wanna hear from the candidates including: what are the top three policy ideas you have for addressing the disparities Black families face?
