In recent years college has become more accessible to incarcerated students as colleges have begun to prioritize expanding their courses to state and federal prisons. At a Maryland prison, four men graduated with Bachelor’s Degrees from Goucher College. ow.ly/OxBT50JROl6
They earned a degree in prison. Now was their time for caps and gowns.

The Goucher College commencement is first in decades to confer bachelor’s degrees in a Maryland prison.

8 million represents about 1 in 5 Californians who face over 44,000 barriers. Many of them only have a misdemeanor and never even spent any time incarcerated. So why are legal barriers punishing them for life? Let’s end this injustice. Make SB 731 law and #SunsetConvictions!

Incarcerated people live in the wake of involuntary servitude, making everything from placards to mattresses for .37 cents an hour. Erasing this, if only by word, would be a substantive step in safeguarding our future from the worst practices of our past. My statement: #ACA3 ⬇️

Research backs up decades of lived experience that over-reliance on enforcement and incarceration only exacerbates the conditions that create violence and does nothing to actually prevent crime. This can no longer be about politics. Prevent crime by addressing root causes.

The permanent impacts of barriers related to arrest and conviction records cause multigenerational harm. The barriers to housing and livable incomes create instability that deeply affect childrens’ mental health for life. Time to make SB 731 law to #SunsetConvictions

2.5 MILLION Californians (1 in 10 working-age) are living with a past felony conviction on their record which makes them BLOCKED from contributing to the workforce. Barriers imposed by old felony records have cost the state economy over $20 BILLION in GDP! Let’s make SB731 law!

#SB1304 has successfully passed out of committee! @sydneykamlager's legislation will increase the current gate money allowance from $200, which is simply not enough to rebuild a life. We are one step closer to providing meaningful support for reentry for returning Californians!

WE DON’T HAVE TO LET CRISIS BECOME CRIME. PEOPLE NEED RESOURCES AND ACCESS TO THE PROPER HELP. LOCKING EVERYONE UP IS NOT THE KEY. 👏

When you have a public surplus, you have a responsibility to invest it in communities that have historically been left behind and divested from. Economic justice is paramount

Last September, the U.S. House voted 361-66 to pass the EQUAL Act, eliminating the federal cocaine disparity. There are 29 days left in session before the August recess. The bill has 11 Senate GOP cosponsors and would reunite thousands of families. It's time to act.
