worst time when i was starved, four times in a row. breakfast, lunch, dinner and breakfast again. i want our view to no this is built on a former slave plantation. when you hear the treatment this union man received, it s frightening. in florida there are prison guards that openly tout their associations with white supremacy organizations. when you look at this disproportionately impacting black and brown people, you see our babies, our children being funneled into this system, how do we disrupt the system holistically. i think the first step is to recognize the way we treat and think about people more incarcerated is the ultimate form of dehumanization. as kevin said, people s fathers, sons, brothers currently incarcerated. i had a client who spent time in
