4/5 88% of Black Americans support hiring mental-health professionals as non-police first responders to de-escalate mental-health crises. We’re building toward a system of public safety with a clear mandate from our people.

Today, Chrystul was forced to plead guilty despite the WI law which protects trafficking victims' acts of self-defense. She now faces decades of incarceration. Chrystul's story is the latest in a long history of criminalizing Black women and girls for defending themselves.🧵

It's Freedom Wednesday! From the 1977 manifesto by the Black lesbian feminist Combahee River Collective. From their belief in Black women's inherent value, their politics recognized the importance of loving and defending ourselves. #defendblackwomen #survivedandpunished

Justice for Sade Robinson 🧵 Sade Robinson is a Black youth that should be here today. Instead she was murdered by Maxwell Anderson after meeting him for a date. Sade is gone because of the inherent misogynoir in our society. #justiceforsade #saderobinson #defendblackwomen

The police, the media, and everyday people protect and celebrate wealthy white men, while disrespecting and dismissing sexual and dating violence done to Black women and girls." As we join her family and friends in mourning this tragic loss, we demand justice for Sade!

The Survivor's Agenda is a political plan that puts survivors of domestic and sexual violence first. Sexual violence is a public health issue and centering the needs of survivors is not only the right thing to do - it's good policy. 🧵 #sexualassaultawarenessandpreventionmonth

3) Comprehensive Sexuality Education. 30 states still emphasize abstinence in health class and only 7% of LGBT youth receive positive representation on queer topics. National standards for sex education that are representative and fact-based is key to prevention.

4) Trauma Informed Healthcare and Housing. Uninformed medical care and unsafe transitional housing doesn't prioritize survivors' long term needs. We call for investment into making healthcare and housing accessible and free from discrimination for all.
