It can’t be overstated how much the #PublicChargeRule affects crime survivors. This decision strips immigrant survivors of their public safety net. No administration can do this and turn around tomorrow and say they have survivor's best interest in mind.
nytimes.com/2020/01/27/us/…
Poverty is a systemic issue. Poverty systemically drives violence. As this rule further concentrates poverty, it will also further concentrate violence.
The #PublicChargeRule affects all of our work. If we believe that this decision has no bearing on our work in criminal justice, then we have already lost.

"Our elected officials abdicated their responsibility to address those inequalities, despite consistent evidence that initiatives that address those root causes of violence cost less to maintain and make us safer. 3/4"

Prisons have never been in the service of public health. For activists who have been fighting the HIV epidemic in the United States, COVID-19 is a case of déjá vu, especially for those advocating as and for incarcerated people. 1/4 truthout.org/articles/hiv-p…
We've been here before. Through the 80's, 90's, to even the 2010's Black and Brown incarcerated people have had to fight for life-saving changes to keep those living with HIV in care. The fight is continuing both for people living with HIV and those most at risk for #COVID19. 2/4
The injustices of the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting Black and Brown people in similar ways the HIV epidemic still does. And it’s affecting the lives of incarcerated loved ones in many of the same ways. 3/4

@MylesMill @NBCNewYork, as advocates for survivors of violence, we want to share our perspective. 1/6
We are heartbroken by the tragic death of Maria Fuertes, a beloved grandmother and member of the community. We offer our condolences to the Fuertes family and loved ones. 2/6
We are also very disturbed to see the Trump administration exploit this tragedy. ICE is distorting the truth, demonizing all immigrants, and trying to divide communities against each other. 3/6

Survivors have strong opinions about justice reform. They just aren’t the opinions we usually get to hear. 1/4 washingtonpost.com/opinions/priso…
The evidence is clear and has been for years. More prisons do not equal more safety. 2/4

Survivors know this. In fact, many survivors of violence, when offered the choice, opt for non-prison options when looking for accountability from the person responsible for their harm. 3/4 storage.googleapis.com/vera-web-asset…

Celebrating the life of Emmett "Bobo" Till, on what would have been his 78th birthday. We chose to highlight the vibrancy of the life he lived before his death and have some facts about his childhood, hobbies, and interests in the thread below. #RestInPower Image
He grew up in a thriving, middle-class black neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. The neighborhood was a haven for black-owned businesses, and the streets he roamed as a child were lined with black-owned insurance companies, pharmacies, and beauty salons.
Emmett enjoyed being the center of attention and making jokes that lifted the spirits of his family and friends.
