That wall shouldn't exist to begin with; but what's the first step of tearing down an invisible wall?
You make it visible.
And that's what the #PLANAct does.

Right now, licensing agencies don't have to publicize whether they consider conviction history until *after* someone has applied for a license--often after investing years and thousands of dollars in education and training. In a country where 1 in 4 jobs requires a license, that's unacceptable.

While PLAN doesn't fully ban considering conviction histories when awarding or denying professional licenses, it requires agencies to make the process--and criteria--more transparent, creates a preapplication process, and introduces time limits to keep applicants out of years of professional limbo.

This thread is very much on my mind right now; and ways both to normalize this kind of contact and to make it scale. bsky.app/profile/gwen...
I think a lot of people have mutual aid confused with charity on here, maybe because folks most often see it in the context of fundraiser asks (which are great!).
I want to talk a little about what it looks like in everyday life.
Because we need it more than ever. Government is getting shredded.

Far, far too many lives have been lost to the casual denial and even direct blocking of necessary medical care on Rikers island.
