For the first time in six years, fatal police violence declined in the U.S.

In 2025, police killed 1,314 people—a 5% decrease from 2024.

That decline reflects years of organizing, accountability, and policy change. But progress is fragile and disparities remain stark. People of color remain significantly more likely to be killed by police.

We know what works. Policy choices matter. Community investment matters.

Today, we celebrate Michael Brown on what would have been his 30th birthday.

Mike should have had the chance to grow older, to dream bigger dreams, to become whoever he wanted to be. Instead, his life was stolen at just 18 years old when he was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

More than a decade later, we continue to honor his legacy by fighting for justice, accountability, and systemic change. Mike’s impact remains powerful, and the movement sparked in Ferguson continues because people refuse to let his story—and his life—be forgotten.

Today, we remember Mike not only for what was taken from him, but for the lasting impact his life continues to have.

Rest in power, Mike. ❤️

Today, Michael Brown would have turned 30. 2 years ago today, @1800happybirthday traveled to St. Louis for a public art installation and birthday celebration with Michael’s family.

‘Happy Birthday MikeMike’ documents Michael Brown’s 10th heavenly birthday party, organized by his mother Lezley McSpadden.

Happy 30th, Michael. 🎈

A parole process should not depend on whether someone knows how to navigate an unclear system from inside prison.

HB 467 / SB 822 changes that in Maryland.

This bill creates a more regular, transparent, and accountable parole process where people are not left waiting indefinitely between parole hearings, decisions must be explained, records are provided automatically ahead of hearings, and hearings are recorded. These updates matter because parole decisions do not just affect one person. They affect families, communities, and the integrity of the justice system itself.

This is what meaningful improvements look like: clear timelines, stronger transparency, and a process rooted in dignity and accountability.

Plymouth County Correctional Facility is not just a detention site. It is part of a larger system moving people through Massachusetts and into ICE custody, often with little transparency about where they are sent next.

Massachusetts has a choice to make.

Reducing harm inside detention is not enough if the state continues allowing the agreements that make this system possible. Other states have ended this kind of collaboration with ICE. Massachusetts can, too.

Watch, share, and contact your legislators. Plymouth County Correctional Facility should be closed, and all collaboration with ICE in Massachusetts should end.

Today in Maryland, House Bill 467 / Senate Bill 822 was signed into law and we were honored to be there.

This is a massive step forward for parole reform in Maryland and one of the most consequential updates to the state’s parole process in decades.

Because of this bill, most people will now receive parole hearings every two years, and no one will wait longer than five years. That means more transparency, more accountability, and a process that better reflects dignity and due process.

This bill is going to help a lot of people, families, and communities. We’ll have more to share about the bill and what it means soon.

Most people have never heard of gang enhancement laws. That’s part of the problem.

Across the country, these laws allow subjective labels to carry life-altering consequences. What someone wears, where they live, who they know, what they post or whether they have tattoos can be used to label them as a “gang member” — even when none of those things are crimes.

Once that label is applied, the stakes change. Prosecutors can use gang enhancements to increase pressure, extend sentences and push people toward plea deals before a trial ever begins.

Justice should not depend on a subjective label. It should not depend on your state. And it should not allow vague definitions to decide someone’s future.

Parole decisions shape lives, families, and entire communities but for too long, that process in Maryland lacked basic transparency and accountability.

House Bill 467 / Senate Bill 822 changes that.

This is one of the most consequential updates to Maryland parole law in decades because it moves the system closer to what it should have been all along: fair, timely, and clear.

Previously, state law did not specify how often people should receive parole hearings. The legislature said a person’s crime was eligible for parole. The judge said their conviction was eligible for parole. But people could still wait decades between hearings.

This bill changes that by ensuring most people receive parole hearings every two years, and no one will wait longer than five years. That isn’t special treatment. That’s due process.

Parole reform is public safety work. It is dignity. It is accountability. And it is a reminder that systems can be changed when people fight for better.

Today we launched Labeled for Life—a national effort to end gang enhancements.

These laws add years—even decades—to sentences based on who someone is perceived to be, not what they did. And they disproportionately impact Black and Brown communities.

We’re building toward eliminating these laws nationwide. Learn more and read our Substack the link in our bio.

Cities aren’t just debating ShotSpotter anymore—they’re walking away from it.

Because when you look closely, the question isn’t whether it sounds like safety. It’s whether it actually delivers and whether that price tag is worth what communities could be investing in instead.
