What does justice look like within a prison abolitionist framework? What does punishment look like?

As an abolitionist, I want to end the practice of slavery and the new iteration of slavery and social control @osope

@drdavidjleonard @yvonnegraphy we'd love to be involved ... How can we connect?

why we always include the "Black" in #BlackLivesMatter--cause very few, including our Black president, want to acknowledge anti black racism

We've had some followers ask why we don't say that all lives matter instead of or in addition to Black lives matter. Let's start a dialogue.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
All human lives matter. That is true. And, it's important to us to center race class gender and sexuality in the conversation.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Race is an uncomfortable topic for many, particularly in a society that has actively devalued Black lives since it's inception.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Race is still, however very salient in this country. Black lives have been under assault for generations.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Racism tho is a system of oppression that lives inside institutions, determines life chances and outcomes. Literally life or death.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Not all lives were enslaved in this country. Or raped to produce free labor that generated wealth. Black lives were.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Not all lives are at the bottom end of health access, educational access, access to democracy. Black lives are.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Not all lives were intentionally stripped of our fundamental humanity. Black lives are.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Not all lives can be murdered when going on to someone's porch to ask for help after a terrible accident. Black lives can.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Not all lives can be considered suspect when wearing a hoodie, and carrying a pack of skittles and a snapple, be mistaken for having a gun.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Saying that black lives matter doesn't negate anyone else's life. It merely affirms lives that have been systematically devalued.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Now with that said, black lives are not the only lives targeted for destruction. But black lives are targeted in unique ways.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
We have a lot to gain from building unity with other targeted groups. But not without real recognition of Black peoples unique conditions.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
This country does not see all lives as a threat to it's existence. It sees black lives that way.
— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) September 7, 2014
Every 28 hours a Black life is stolen by police or vigilantes. Not all lives.
