Everybody in, especially those left out
Systemic racism permeates Connecticut s policies on prisons in many ways. It s time to fix that.
In the wake of the spate of gun violence massacres, resuming again with deadly consequences, we are at a familiar crossroads: Do we revert to our usual, American individualized ‘othering,’, or do we reconcile that there is no ‘them’- only ‘us,’ that we refuse to claim?
State Rep. Anne Hughes
I’m campaigning to reframe the American ‘us’ from some of y’all to “ALL of us all!”
It’s time to claim we all belong to this place, this promise of America; we all deserve to be safe in our American community, and it’s time we declare a ‘ceasefire’ and release the prisoners of war those incarcerated from our state-sanctioned war on drugs and our deliberately unjust laws designed to deprive some of us economic justice, opportunity, education, health, liberty, and life itself.

The implications for the Amazon, Brazil’s place in the world and its relationship with Joe Biden are still coming into focus – but they are enormous.
