WHEW! What a WEEKEND! 🥹🔥✊🏾❤️🖤💚

Our WIAOFC-MN family was OUTSIDE all weekend showing what it looks like to build community, fight for liberation, support our people, uplift incarcerated voices, stand in solidarity, AND still make room for JOY. ✊🏾✨
🪩💃🏾 Friday Glow in the Dark Dance Party Fundraiser 🕺🏾✨

We kicked off the weekend dancing, laughing, celebrating, and raising funds to continue the work we do for wrongfully incarcerated and over-sentenced people and their families. ❤️

This work can be HEAVY, and we believe joy is important too. Being able to come together, dance, laugh, love on one another, and have a good time while supporting this work was everything! 🥹🪩💃🏾

💌📚 Saturday — Letters 4 Liberation ✍🏾📬

Then we got right back to the work!

Our community came together to write letters and send love, encouragement, and solidarity behind the walls. Incarceration is designed to isolate people from their families and communities, and Letters 4 Liberation is one of the ways we remind our incarcerated community; YOU ARE SEEN. YOU ARE LOVED. AND YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. ❤️✊🏾

We were also blessed to have the author of “Abolition Is Love” join us for STORY TIME! 📖🥹❤️ Having abolition, love, community, and liberation being talked about through books and storytelling made the day even more special. And our incarcerated author friend Prentis Jackson was represented in the building too! 📚✊🏾 A copy of his book was right there with us, a reminder that incarceration does NOT erase someone’s voice, creativity, talent, humanity, or their ability to impact the world beyond those walls. ❤️‍🔥

🧺🤝🏾 And our team showed up for the Solidarity Picnic!
Because our fight does not exist in a bubble. We believe in SHOWING UP for other movements, organizations, families, and communities fighting for justice and liberation.

Solidarity isn’t just something we say it’s something we practice. 🤝🏾✊🏾

From the dance floor 🪩💃🏾
to writing letters behind the walls 💌
to story time and uplifting our authors 📚
to standing in solidarity with our community 🤝🏾…

🖤✊🏾 Yesterday was a powerful reminder that when our communities come together, our voices cannot be ignored.

I had the honor of speaking not only as the Executive Director of Wrongfully Incarcerated & Over-Sentenced Families Council – MN, but as someone whose family is living the realities of mass incarceration, police violence, ICE detention, and state violence every single day.

🕊️ I spoke for my fiancé, Cornelius Jackson, who has spent 20 years incarcerated.
🕯️ I spoke for my cousin, Stephen Washington, whose life was taken in prison because of officer negligence.
🖤 I spoke for my childhood friend, Terrance Franklin, who was killed by the Minneapolis Police Department.
🌏 I spoke for my Uncle Nonh, who is currently being processed for deportation to Laos after living in the United States for over 40 years, leaving behind his wife and four young children.

These are not separate struggles, they are connected. The same systems that criminalize, separate, cage, and devalue our communities continue to impact our families every single day.

🙏🏾 Thank you to everyone who came out, marched, listened, organized, and stood with us. Your presence matters more than you know.

🎥 I’ll be sharing clips from my speech along with photos and videos from yesterday’s rally.

❤️‍🔥 We don’t stop organizing when the rally ends.
🏘️ We organize in our neighborhoods.
🏛️ We organize in our courtrooms.
⛓️ We organize for those behind prison walls.
🫂 We organize until every family is reunited.

✊🏾 Until every family is whole.
🖤 Until justice is more than just a word.
🔥 The struggle continues.

Yesterday’s banner drop came together at the very last minute, but when it comes to celebrating and fighting for the people we love, we always find a way.

Happy 40th Birthday to, Cornelius Jackson. ❤️🖤

Instead of celebrating this milestone at home with his family, Cornelius is spending his 20th year behind prison walls. Twenty years of birthdays missed. Twenty years of holidays stolen. Twenty years of watching life pass by from a prison cell.

Yesterday, we stood above I-94 to make sure the world saw his name and heard our message:

🎉 HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY, CORN!
🎈 FREE CORNELIUS JACKSON!

Every person who honked, waved, raised a fist, or shouted words of encouragement reminded us that this fight is bigger than one family. It is about second chances, accountability, and ending the injustice that keeps so many people caged long after hope should have been restored.

Thank you to everyone who dropped what they were doing to help make this happen. Your solidarity means more than you know.

Corn, we love you. We miss you. And we won’t stop fighting until you’re home where you belong.

FREE CORNELIUS JACKSON.
20 years is enough.
Happy 40th Birthday! 🎂🎉✊🏾🖤

✍🏾 LETTERS FOR LIBERATION IS BACK! ✍🏾✨

Join the Wrongfully Incarcerated & Over-Sentenced Families Council – MN (WIAOFC-MN) for another Letters for Liberation as we come together to remind our incarcerated loved ones that they are not forgotten.

🗓 Saturday, August 8, 2026
🕐 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
📍 Lucy Parsons Center
📍 3715 Chicago Ave, Minneapolis, MN

✉️ We’ll provide:

💜 A welcoming community
🤝 Support for first-time letter writers
📬 Information about incarceration and ways to get involved

Every letter is a reminder that no one should be forgotten. Together, we can build community, inspire hope, and continue the fight for justice.

Bring a friend, invite your family, and help us spread love beyond the prison walls.

🎉 Happy 40th Birthday, Cornelius Jackson! 🎉

Today, the love of my life turns 40 years old.

Instead of celebrating this milestone surrounded by family, friends, and freedom, Cornelius is spending his 20th year behind prison walls. Yet despite everything he has endured, he has never stopped growing. He has dedicated himself to education, mentoring others, taking accountability, and becoming the incredible man so many of us know and love today.

I pray this is the last birthday he spends incarcerated.

Today, we’re reminding Minnesota that Cornelius is more than a prison number. He is a son, a father, a fiancé, a mentor, and a man deserving of a second chance.

📢 Join us TODAY for a Birthday Banner Drop!

📍 I-94 & Broadway (Minneapolis)
🕔 5:00 PM

If you’re able to join us, we’d love to have you stand with us as we honor Cornelius on his birthday and continue demanding justice and freedom. Bring your voices, your signs, and your support as we remind the world that Cornelius is not forgotten and that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

🎂 Then come celebrate with us on Friday, August 7, 2026!

We’ll be hosting a Birthday Party Fundraiser in celebration of both my birthday and Cornelius’s birthday. It’ll be an evening of community, music, dancing, and joy while raising funds to support the ongoing fight for justice and the work of the Wrongfully Incarcerated & Over-Sentenced Families Council–MN.

🎉 Please see the flyer in the slides for all the event details, and we hope you’ll join us! Your presence and support mean the world to us.

❤️ Happy 40th Birthday, Corn. We love you, we miss you, and we’ll never stop fighting until you’re home.

Yesterday we took to the streets once again for Roll 4 Justice 2 because our communities deserve better.

We rolled for every family living in fear of ICE raids. We rolled for every life stolen by police violence. We rolled for every person trapped behind prison walls because of a system that values punishment over justice.

As I shared yesterday, this fight is deeply personal. On the backs of our riders’ shirts were the names of two people I loved fiercely: my childhood friend, Terrance Franklin, and my first cousin, Stephen Washington. Their lives were taken by systems that were supposed to protect them. We carry their names because we refuse to let them be forgotten.

We also lifted up my Uncle Nonh Noradeth, who was taken by ICE on July 2 and now faces deportation after spending decades building his life here. While our family fights to keep him home, his wife and four young children are trying to navigate a future filled with uncertainty. No family should have to carry this burden alone.

Thank you to everyone who rode with us, marched alongside us, stood in solidarity, and purchased candy grapes to help support my uncle’s children. Every act of solidarity reminds our family that we are not alone.

If yesterday’s message moved you, I’m asking you to take one more step. Please consider donating to help support my uncle’s children with their living expenses and back-2-school necessities while their father remains in ICE custody. If you’re unable to give, sharing the fundraiser can make just as much of a difference.

This movement isn’t about one day. It’s about building the power to win.

Until every family is reunited.
Until every wrongful conviction is overturned.
Until every community is free from ICE and police terror.

We’ll keep organizing. We’ll keep fighting. We’ll keep rolling. ✊🏾❤️🖤
