                Cause and Effect? Common causes of violence in communities: exposure to violence, shame, isolation, and inability to meet economic needs. Incarceration doesn't help people in any of those areas. In fact, it exacerbates all four of those issues!...

                    Proactive vs Reactive - My latest life goal is for every problem I solve, to spend time addressing the root cause of the problem. For example: We have to react to these cruel laws being passed, but it's more safe and effective to replace those...

                                  Under Section 1033, over 8,000 police agencies received a total of $7.4 billion in surplus military equipment. They aren't properly trained to use it and it doesn't need to be in their hands, so we need to take back every bit of it! ⚖️
