Just a reminder to people of color and also those with differing abilities (and those whose identities overlap) - we DO NOT have to justify our existence. We DO NOT have to engage. We DO have to take care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, and physically. Sending lots of love 💜

The graying of the US carceral system is extremely alarming. Most older adults are arrested for low-level, non-violent offenses like trespassing, driving offenses, and disorderly conduct

Banning homeless camping is the stupidest policy response to addressing housing, mental health, employment, & substance needs. And then adding criminal attachment & fines??? Where is the common sense?
The burst of new laws follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling and reflects public frustration with record-high homelessness. But advocates say fines and jail time will only make the problem worse.
100-plus cities in the U.S. banned homeless camping this year. But will it work?

How does the punishing practice of monetary sanctions highlight the unequal relationship between the state and its citizens, especially the poor and marginalized?

Have you ever attended a research talk & cried? I accidentally did today. A student in the Q&A -boldly & vulnerably- told the candidate that she saw herself in her, that she, a Black woman, inspired her with her research and engagement in the real world. #RepresentationMatters 💜💜💜 #KamrynSMorris

Key question is which communities in the U.S. are living under a police state? Which communities are disparately patrolled, prosecuted, convicted, incarcerated, supervised, and indebted to the state? All as a result of - at least in part- law enforcement.
