Dear members, families, friends and allies, Listed are more proposed legislation being heard at the General Assembly requiring public support. Some bills may not go as far as we would like, however, they are a start, “fair and commonsense”… Continue support all efforts to end mass incarceration. Peace Lillie (Ms.K) Branch-Kennedy
