OMG! I just heard @PovertyEdge speak for the first time on @ACEsConnection with @healWRITEnow for #ABetterNormal series.
I want you to come to my community, Rebecca!
Listen to the ones most affected.
Give them the leadership.
Provide resources.
Stop trying to fix people.

My favourite quote from @PovertyEdge today:
"If you can get to me as a mother and help me get what I need and want, I'll get to my kids."
This is #WhyITalkACEs It's about the adults and helping them see it's not their fault, and ensuring access to resources so they can heal.

"We don't talk about class in our culture." TY @PovertyEdge for calling out. Reminds me of @lokiscottishrap 's message in #PovertySafari

"as long as we have prisons and prison reforms more and bigger and better prisons will appear, as history is proving, and society will keep on using them as an escape from its own responsibilities of correcting the economic and social failures that make crime possible."
"reforming the prison system is like repairing a shack that should be torn down.” “Don’t get any false optimism about prison reform. Any hope there is lies outside the system, not in it.”
