[THREAD]: 14 years ago today our National Director Jessica Jackson Sloan stood in a Georgia courtroom. With her 2 month old daughter in her arms, she watched as her then-husband was sentenced to 6 years in prison for a first time low level drug crime.
That traumatizing experience ignited a fire within her, pushing her to law school, her city council, and eventually founding #cut50 with @VanJones68.
Jessica: You are a testament to the power we each hold within us to create lasting change by overcoming adversity. We know we speak for thousands when we say *thank you* for your resilience & dedication! We'll follow you always & are honored to fight alongside you. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
