This holiday season, 104 Black mamas and caregivers are finally home, no longer missing the moments that make life whole.

There are many things money can buy; under capitalism, one of them is freedom.

Give the gift of freedom to someone who can’t afford their bail this holiday season.

We will be granting 15 Black-led organizations $100,000 so they can provide direct payments to Black mamas and caregivers who have been disproportionately affected by SNAP.

We refuse to let them starve our people into cages.

Cash bail puts a price on freedom — and tears families and communities apart. This holiday season, let's ensure everyone can stay together, regardless of how big their bank account is. 🦃 Learn more and take action now: benjerrys.co/3KogRwC

The shutdown may be over, but the impact is far from it. As states restart food assistance, they are also rolling out new restrictions and cuts that will make it harder for many of our mamas and caregivers to keep their benefits, removing them from SNAP immediately.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Far too many trans people are targeted by the carceral system and caught in its vicious conditions.

Recovery won’t happen overnight.

New census data shows that poverty stayed high last year—and increased for black women. Nearly 2 in 5 working-age women living in poverty had jobs. This is a policy choice. With Trump's devastating cuts to Medicaid & SNAP, things will only continue to get worse for working people. We deserve better.

October is dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of mental health in our communities. Our Black mamas and caregivers are often met with bias, misdiagnosis, and distrust when seeking mental health support.

"Cell phone images smuggled out of jails and prisons across the country reveal food that hardly looks edible, let alone nutritious. ...kitchen workers at prisons in Arizona, Oregon, and elsewhere reported seeing boxes of food that were served to prisoners marked: 'not for human consumption.'"

As private food providers' contracts grow, the meager and moldy portions behind bars have forced some people to eat toothpaste and toilet paper.

Black women deserve safety. We deserve to experience love, support, and care in our most intimate relationships.

And yet, for Black women and girls, one of the leading causes of death is murder by an intimate partner.

Trump is spending over $1 MILLION per day to have the National Guard harass homeless people. In contrast, providing housing to every homeless person in DC would cost ~ $255k.

The solution to homelessness is housing and supports, not handcuffs and jails. buff.ly/pMYtwCE
