Brandi Fisher, a prominent community organizer in the Pittsburgh area, said the energy that has propelled those causes since last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests was key to activists’ effort to boost progressive and Black voter turnout.

Over just 10 weeks, volunteers working with a consortium of groups and Alliance for Police Accountability collected more than 45,000 signatures to get a question on Allegheny County’s ballot: Should jail officials be prohibited from using solitary confinement, the restraint chair and chemical agents on those incarcerated there?
The measure passed with nearly 70% voting in favor.
“When I woke up this morning, the first thing on my mind were the people currently in ACJ and the people in solitary confinement that say they don’t matter,” said Brandi Fisher, who heads the alliance. “I was brought to tears of joy.
