Corey Turner has been wrongfully imprisoned for 28 years for a murder he didn’t commit in Hartford. No physical or forensic evidence ties him to the crime. The prosecutor lied about a phone call that was recorded, then blocked the jury from hearing the call. Free Corey Turner!
A few weeks ago, our Smart Justice leaders testified in support of HB5324. At this hearing, Anderson Curtis, our Senior Policy Organizer, shared his experience being pulled over, reminding us why we must establish secondary traffic violations. ct-n.com/ctnplayer.asp?…
Children are not adults, treating them as such is a BIG red flag 🚩CT needs to invest in alternatives designed to support youth effectively and appropriately. Check out more on our fact sheets on our website: ctja.org/fact-sheets #InvestInMeCT #FactCheckFriday✊
Yesterday #union leaders gathered w/@GovNedLamont for official #ParaeducatorAppreciationDay proclamation, recognizing #paraprofessionals as heroes! #FundOurFuture @AFTunion @PSRP_AFT @AFLCIO @ConnAFLCIO @AFSCME @AFSCMECT4 @SEIU @CSEA_CT @CEUI_SEIU_511 @UAW @UAWRegion9A
A new Connecticut report shows 95.5% of people in prison come in with mental health or substance abuse issues. Incarceration is not the answer to mental health and substance abuse issues. And if those issues have been addressed, is incarceration necessary? courant.com/2023/04/30/de-…
The crazy part is that Corey Turner didn’t even commit the crime! He’s innocent! The jury never got to hear the recorded prison phone calls. A witness testified under a name of a deceased person. No physical evidence ties him to the crime. Free Corey Turner NOW!

One to watch— A bill being considered this session (HB 5470) would enact a range of protections and standards for rideshare and delivery drivers. Backers of the bill are getting an assist from the influential @UAWRegion9A.

“If our politicians wish to truly right-size higher education, they must approve a budget readjustment and provide our schools with sufficient funding to ensure quality working conditions for faculty and quality learning conditions for students.” ctmirror.org/2024/03/13/ct-… @CSUAAUP

I can't believe — in the year 2024 — we have to say this, but: Mass incarceration is very real in America. 1.9 million people are incarcerated in the U.S. on any given day. The article conveniently forgets to include jails when talking about the criminal legal system. 🧵

For 23% of girls confined by the juvenile justice system, their most serious charge is a non-criminal "technical" violation of probation or status offense, such as running away, truancy, or "incorrigibility" — behaviors that are often responses to abuse. prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie202…
