When youth and people of color are criminalized for arbitrary reasons like those included in this report, it leads to a Treyvon Martin, an Orlando Castille, Oscar Grant and many more unarmed people who were senselessly killed. #StopGunViolence #March4OurLives #LasVegas

Gang databases have come under scrutiny because a kid may be included for arbitrary reasons, like hanging out in a particular park nyti.ms/2DTNmuA

More than 53K young people are incarcerated on any given night—nearly 60% of whom are black or Latino. Yet, their stories often go untold. In this new podcast, young kids tell their stories and set out to answer the question: what should justice look like? bit.ly/2DLGiA3

Just as times have change, our methods for supporting our communities must evolve too. #endmoneybail #LasVegas

Since 1963, when MLK was arrested at Birmingham Jail and bailed out by a businessman, the number of people in jail has skyrocketed. Most, unlike King, can’t find a millionaire to pay their bail. So community funds/organizers are stepping up. theatln.tc/2pCc1Pc @ClintSmithIII
