Sharing how systems discriminate against people out of prison to keep them down. Last week I took #RealityLeighWinner to get her driver's license at the TX DMV.
She needed 2 forms of ID, which she had. They also required 2 forms of proof of address, which she didn't have.

I was there & had to complete an affidavit for her. I had to have 2 forms of proof of an address, even though they had my ID/Driver's license.
Luckily, we were able to give them documents that satisfied them.
Had I not been there, #RealityWinner would've been denied.

They system has built in rules that keep people already kicked down to stay powerless and hopeless.
I stead of helping to build them back, they make it hard for them to succeed.
And, they treated her like an inmate. I'm so angry. #RealityWinner

I need to share: when my daughter #RealityWinner was arrested & national news blasted all of the twisted-out of context negative info spewed by the govt I thought we would be alone & outcast by everyone. My own family & some friends backed away.

I was shocked when total strangers from all over the world began reaching out to support her & our family. Through this I have come to gain a new family of supporters that I have come to love & cherish.
Above all @WendyMeer1
& @debbikutner
Have gone above n beyond.
They have supported #RealityWinner, have been there in our dark times, have loved & supported me & have also adopted my oldest, @WinnerBrittany
I can never ever thank them or tell them how much they mean to me I love you @WendyMeer11 & @debbikutner
