First, a great thread from the Juvenile Law Center ( @JuvLaw1975), one of our Fellowship host organizations, about the history of #Juneteenth https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> and the need for further progress and reform. https://twitter.com/JuvLaw1975/status/1273648647813632002">https://twitter.com/JuvLaw197...

For those taking the day to reflect, here’s a great interview from @TheCCR with Fellow @SamahSisay, diving deep into abolition & organizing in our current moment. From Samah: “Abolition is love and creating conditions where communities can thrive." https://twitter.com/samahsisay/status/1273019912349515779">https://twitter.com/samahsisa...

Demonstrations are happening in cities and towns nationwide. Going to protest? Make sure you #KnowYourRights. Here’s a helpful thread from @ACLU: https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1268588989738618885">https://twitter.com/ACLU/stat...
