The fight to prevent people from dying of COVID-19 in jails and prisons is just one urgent component of the broader movement to end mass incarceration, over-policing, and state-sanctioned anti-Black violence. https://t.co/7qmq4eqdyb — PolitiTweet.org

Governors, sheriffs and other stakeholders in the criminal legal system responsible for protecting incarcerated people should continue to take steps necessary to decrease jail prison populations, particularly for those who are most vulnerable. https://t.co/i30vKG2gIK — PolitiTweet.org

There are almost 740,000 people in jail in the US on any given day. A person is admitted every three seconds. — PolitiTweet.org

The release of incarcerated people from jails has saved lives both in jails and in the community, all while monthly crime trends were within or below average ranges in every city. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Further, contrary to the rhetoric coming from the Trump administration, our analysis found no evidence of any spikes in crime in any of the 29 locations, even when comparing monthly trends over the past two years. https://t.co/k7aPGH6gwd — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We found that crime rates decreased in nearly every city this spring compared to the same period of time the year prior, due to a number of factors including a shift in arrest policies to reduce low-level arrests, and the release of people who were most vulnerable to the disease. https://t.co/d0p6EoDfJH — PolitiTweet.org

Today we released a new study analyzing crime trends for 29 of the largest cities in the US for which both jail population data and crime data were available between the months of March and May. Thread 👇 https://t.co/TkTOBAA8gG — PolitiTweet.org

Prisons and jails aren't drug rehab centers, so why does our country use them as such? https://t.co/YzMtHwHFac — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of people are killed by US law enforcement each year. Divesting from police departments and reinvesting those funds into Black and Brown communities is a necessary step to prevent further harm. https://t.co/xGivY3WsWN — PolitiTweet.org

Forcing people with disabilities to compromise our right to a private, independent vote is blatant disenfranchisement. https://t.co/hcN0LyVrf9 — PolitiTweet.org

Chalana shared her story with us in April, while still incarcerated. Read more about how incarceration impacted her relationship with her daughter, and how decarceration is bringing them back together. https://t.co/dt1ARL6zF8 — PolitiTweet.org

Chalana McFarland is one of thousands of people released from jails and prisons due to COVID-19. For her, that meant reuniting with her daughter Nia after 15 years apart. https://t.co/QKXhw4lvj5 — PolitiTweet.org

As soon as the administration rescinded their ban on current international students whose fall classes are entirely online, they decided to bar newly enrolled international students facing the same circumstances. The time to be loud is NOW. https://t.co/kQHsOK7oao — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act — the most comprehensive civil rights law in the country prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability.

On this day in 1955, Emmett Till was lynched in Mississippi. The absence of justice and accountability has since been a stain on our country's conscience — yet 65 years later, the violence that took Till's life is still taking Black lives regularly. https://t.co/uSiwXKAiWb — PolitiTweet.org

Late last night, we once again sued the federal government over this policy — this time on behalf of every child held at a hotel in McAllen, Texas — alongside @TXCivilRights, @Oxfam, and @CGRShastings. Seeking safety is a human right. We should all be concerned. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Trump administration is still secretly detaining immigrant minors in hotels, refusing to let lawyers speak with them. All this in an effort to send children back to danger without allowing them a hearing under the guise of "public health." https://t.co/sT5vNdgmyW — PolitiTweet.org
