Incarceration doesn’t keep us safe. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 2.3 million people behind bars—disproportionately people of color and poor people—while doing little to stop harm or help survivors of violence and communities heal. It would make way more sense to spend public funds on things that truly serve our communities—like education and economic opportunities—than spending money locking people up.

With a new presidential administration comes new challenges. Will the Biden presidency make good on progressive campaign promises, or will it continue to uphold the status quo of its predecessors? Watch our Facebook Live for a discussion of President Biden's first 100 days, his initial executive actions, and what they mean for the work ahead.
