Beyond Bricks & Bars and Flat Out recognise today and every day the incredible courage, fight and strength of all TGD people inside prisons and the great risk that comes with visibility inside these aggressively binary systems. #TDOV

I support Lydia standing up for the rights of transwomen who have a right to live free of violence. The Nazis and the peddlers of hate speech are protected while black women are brutalised. #ACAB

We stand with Veronica Nelson’s family and are proud to support this clear blueprint for bail reform. We call on the Andrews Government to urgently implement bail reform so what happened to Poccum never happens again. Victoria needs #PoccumsLaw. #SpringSt tinyurl.com/PoccumsLaw

Apryl Day dismissed the police union’s comments:
“They actually have more of a care factor around their police powers being stripped than they do the lives of Aboriginal people and the deaths in custody that are occurring within Victoria.” theguardian.com/australia-ne…

It’s 2023, isn’t it about time we learn from the abhorrent mistakes and right the wrongs of for profit companies taking advantage of the most marginalised in our community?

The Vic prison health system needs urgent overhaul now!

Each year someone spends behind bars costs Victoria $154,000.
