Two Black men were each sentenced to 35 years in prison just one week apart. Think about that. One man mistakenly walked into the wrong house after a night of drinking with the accuser boyfriend. He was accused of rape, yet DNA evidence has been cited as disproving that he raped anyone. Despite years of legal proceedings, multiple judges, numerous attorneys, coercive counsel and ongoing concerns raised by his supporters about how his case was handled, he was sentenced to 35 y

White supremacy tactics are nothing new we know them all too well. They move heaven and earth to cancel the innocent, yet put a pedophile in the White House. Make it make sense. #calvinduncan #purposedforthepeople

PURPOSED FOR THE PEOPLE STATEMENT The people spoke. And their voices were overridden. In Orleans Parish, the voters elected Calvin Duncan with nearly 70 percent of the vote, a man who survived wrongful incarceration and stood ready to bring transparency to a broken system. But before he could take office, Governor Jeff Landry signed legislation eliminating the very position the people voted for. Let’s be clear. This law did not come years before the election. It did not come

I stand with the NAACP when it comes to protecting voting rights. Every person deserves a voice. But justice is not something you pick and choose. Don’t come looking for our votes, our support, and our voices if you can’t stand with us when we’re fighting for our lives, our freedom, and our innocence. Dwight Celestine reached out with DNA evidence and proof, and still no support. That’s a problem. If you’re going to stand for justice, stand for ALL justice. Not just what’s co

This is a step forward for transparency, accountability, and justice. #jaiondricklovely #TransparencyMatters #
