PSA!

The Kansas Prison Organizing Project (KPOP) is hosting a critical community outreach event on April 4th. for justice-impacted individuals and their families to speak about their experiences, concerns, and things that they feel need to change to make the justice system more humane.

With the goal to be to have all of these clemency packets on the Gov. desk by Nov.

Today would have been Trayvon Martin’s 31st birthday.

This photo of Trayvon at space camp reminds us of something that is too often erased — his sense of wonder. Like so many kids, he looked to the sky with curiosity and possibility, imagining a future that included learning, exploration, and becoming something more. Aviation fascinated him. Science intrigued him. He had interests, plans, and a life still unfolding.

In recognition of those dreams, Trayvon was posthumously awarded an honorary aviation degree — a symbolic gesture that acknowledges not only what he loved, but what he never got the chance to pursue. It is a quiet reminder of how much was lost.

Birthdays are meant to mark growth, memories, and time passing forward. For Trayvon, time stopped at 17. What remains is remembrance — of a young man who should be here, who should be aging, learning, laughing, and living.

Today isn’t just about mourning injustice. It’s about honoring a life that mattered, a future that was stolen, and a child who deserved to grow up.

If you care about government transparency, particularly in cases of deadly police shootings, LaRonna Lassiter-Saunders is a hero.
