We heard the call to action by Jailhouse Lawyers Speak!
From the birth state of the Crime Bill written by 1994 Senator Joe Biden, we wholeheartedly say burn the crime bill and reject the racist institution of the criminal justice system. Today as the #Vaughn17 hero’s Jarreau Ayers and Dwayne Staats faced their oppressors and “Starred into the eyes of the system and didn’t flinch,” ( quote from Jarreau Ayers on 9/13/2019), we stand in solidarity with all those who have suffered under mass incarceration due to this crime bill.
All power to the people!
Coalition of Supporters to Free the #Vaughn17
Formatted Kuwasi’s “Anarchy can’t Fight Alone” (8.5 x 14″) and Willem van Spronsen’s final statement (8.5 x 11″) into pdf’s for easy printing and sharing. Solidarity!

We were able to briefly interview Candace Owens when she appeared at UPenn in Philly today. Owens didn’t respond to a Q about her recent dubious Congressional testimony & called it “a weird question” when we asked about being cited in the New Zealand mosque shooter’s manifesto.
