  1. This month's Mutual Aid General Fund support goes to Decarcerate Sacramento, working to prevent jail expansions and shift county funds away from policing. They've built sustained organizing infrastructure, stopped multiple expansion attempts, and run a jail hotline that's sent over 3,000 letters to people inside.

  2. We hear from AQNetwork that the trans women we recently were able to rescue from Luzira Upper Prison in Uganda are recovering from the mistreatment they received there. For some the physical process may be lengthy, and the mental one even longer. #decarceration #Uganda #africa #trans #TransRightsAreHumanRights

    "… it can be easy to slip into discouragement at the outset of a new year. But long-time abolitionist organizer and author Mariame Kaba reminds us that “hope is a discipline” — one we must practice even when the horizon is cloudy, when the new year brings no clarity, no easy optimism."

  10. She was never thought to be the most lethal typhoid carrier at the time. A man named Tony Labella was related to more infections and death and he was never imprisoned. The press demonized Mary with the name "Typhoid Mary", but we never hear about "Typhoid Tony". She lived a tragic life as a victim of the patriarchy and we don't need to continue disparaging her name now. 2/2
