We’re closing in on @POTUS 1st 100 days. not one woman’s sentence commuted. Must we now turn to paying social media influencers to push our moral message to @POTUS? We just learned that this is the new norm. Give us a minute for that to sink in. #ThisisHumanTrafficking #FreeHer

Michelle West has been incarcerated since 1993 with 2 life sentences plus 50 years for a crime she did not commit. 28 years inside. Now 60 years old. She is a mother. She is loved. With the stroke of a pen, @POTUS can bring her home. #ClemencyWorks

AGAIN...It is also utterly insane that there’s even an iota of an idea to build a new women’s prison in MA, with one of the smallest incarceration populations in the country... and also that sheriff Katoujian built a whole new jail for women in his existing jail for men.

These women should be released right now! Instead the MA DOC wants to send them from a minimum security prison to a county jail. It’s incredulous what prisons and jails will do. And where are our lawmakers on this!? Where’s our elected leaders. Ur constituents don’t want this.
