Today was beautiful. Very positive energy and wonderful people out in the street to support an end to the policing of our communities and the incarceration of our friends and families. People shared stories of being abused by the criminal justice system. We remembered those that we have lost at the hands of the system. We marched from Woodruff in downtown Atlanta to the the Atlanta Detention Center. People joined us along the way.
My sign said, "DEAR MAYORAL CANDIDATES, WE DON'T NEED MORE POLICE! WE NEED RE-ENTRY PROGRAMS! WE NEED JOBS!"
We stood outside of the jail and yelled "no justice! no peace! no racist po-lice!" and heard responses from the people inside the Jail yelling back to us. They heard us. We heard them.
