On this day in 1971, the inmates of the maximum-security Attica Correctional Facility near Buffalo, NY rioted against the oppressive conditions they faced under custody. When the prisoners demanded they be treated with respect and guaranteed their rights, they were met with violence from the government. Even after, prisoners continued to face brutality at the hands of the police. #AbolishPrisons #BlackHistory #PrisonIndustrialComplex #History

Black August is everyday! Join us for a screening of the documentary as we continue to celebrate and honor Black August. Link in bio. 💜✊🏿 #blackaugust #blackaugust2020 #georgejackson #blackfreedom #blacklivesmatter

For our last Black August post, we highlight #AngelaDavis, an educator, community organizer, and Black freedom activist. After spending 16 months in prison when the state tried to convict her of a murder charge, she was released with the help of the "Free Angela Davis" campaign, and continues to fight for Black Liberation. Davis advocates strongly for the dismantaling of the prison industrial complex, which is a pillar of the SOUL Sister's mission. Curious about how we keep youth out of the system? Check our website to learn about our Circles Not Cells and Restorative Justice Diversion programs! #abolition #PrisonIndustrialComplex #blacklivesmatter #healing #BlackAugust #BlackAugust2020 #CounselorsNotCops

Marsha "Pay It No Mind" Johnson was a Black transwoman who advocated for the liberation of trans people. She was born on this day, August 24th, 1945. As the founding member of the Gay Liberation Front, #MarshaPJohnson played the role of a fierce organizer, until tragic death in 1992. The Marsha P. Johnson Institute fights to pass the Marsha P. Johnson Safety and Wellness Act in order to enlist their goals and interventions centered around the needs of victims who have endured violence as Black transwomen. #BlackAugust #BlackAugust2020 #BlackTransLivesMatter #LGBTQRights #LGBTQHistory #LGBTQ+
