Our economy is a nightmare for most everyone except the very privileged. Everybody deserves adequate food, housing, and education.
When properly funded, our communities can provide this. Poverty is not a crime! Vote by Nov. 5th. Find out more at communitycareworks.com.

Natasha Smith knows first hand what it is like to suddenly find yourself houseless. After being scammed out of her housing, she found purpose and community on Skid Row. Being homeless is not a crime.

I teach djing on Saturdays at a prison in the Inland Empire and I’ll have to say it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done as a DJ. These guys are the best! I’ve been there for almost a year and I’m looking forward to 2024 at CRC!

It costs $1 MILLION per year to incarcerate one young person in LA County-we must remove youth from Probation custody and fully invest in #YouthJusticeReimagined. @LAYouthUprising

Y’all remember when I said they’re gonna try to bring back Jim Crow…well it’s happening in Jackson Mississippi and I wish I was exaggerating but I’m not. The bill has passed the house vote.

My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵
