    Questions I regularly ask myself when I'm outraged about injustice: 1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself? 2. Who's already doing work around this injustice? 3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support & help to them? 4. How can I be constructive?

    Today organizers bailed out 5 Black mama’s from Durham County Jail. We’ve tried talking to Judge Evans+ Judge Hudson but they refuse to end money bail.Their inaction to free people out of cages has led us here today. We are currently at standoff with 5 officers.

    Breaking: SONG Leaders chain themselves to Durham County Jail entrance! We are stopping any more Black mothers and caregivers from being caged. Judge Evans and Judge Hudson refuse to eliminate bail so we will stop the caging ourselves.

    So far we've paid 3 bails: -1 whose bail took 24 hrs to process -1 who is 5 mo. pregnant -1 who had a $2500 bail for shoplifting Not all these mamas would have qualified for NY's bail reforms (which take effect in 2020). All these mamas deserve to be

    I normally donate to this, but I am so broke it’s not even funny. So if you love me, or even just have a spare $5 and don’t hate me, please PLEASE donate to this because it’s something I wholeheartedly believe in. Or just RT and get it seen by as many people as possible!

    We contribute to for Mother’s Day and I recommend it, if you have $ to spare. Until we end the deeply unjust nonsense of money bail altogether.

    All around the country - in over 38 cities and towns -- people are posting bail to from jail in time for Mother's Day. Many of you have contributed to making this possible. Others can still contribute!

    Some of you know that I am currently a Researcher in Residence . One of the best parts is that I am able to partner with a Barnard student on some research. My research assistant for this academic year was & she did terrific work.
