I will support any proposal that will alleviate the suffering of low-income individuals and People of Color. As an African-American living in a low-income community, the Police are not friends of my community. We are disproportionately effected by the disease of Police Brutality. My mother was one of the most law-abiding and generous people I know, and like many people in our community she had issues with calling the Police.
The Judge
The lady’s hair is
Propped up
By much hairspray
Sometimes she highlights
It but it remains generally
Unchanged season after season
During her court TV program
Her robe is splayed
Over her legally
Riddled body
She is hard nosed,
No nonsense as she
Adjudicates on issues of
La energia Positiva no remuebe a la Policia de las calles./The positive energy will not remove the cops from the street.

From Colonization to Assimilation
I remember the days when my mother would tuck me in at night with a sad look on her face, almost to a point of crying. I never did ask what was wrong because I had an idea, but knew that if I went further I felt I would’ve broken her. To this day I still don’t know what makes her sad. I only know one truth to her that I fear on the daily, the idea of losing her child.

California Prison Hunger Strike
Prisoners in a third of California prisons have been on a hunger strike to protest solitary confinement rules and other inhumane treatment. The protest began on July 1 when prisoners in the Pelican Bay Secured Housing Unit (SHU) began refusing meals.
The protesting prisoners grew in number to include other institutions, apparently becoming most active in Pelican Bay, Corcoran State Prison, and the California Correctional Institute at Tehachapi.
