This is such a great profile of Brittany Barnett @MsBKB, who we honored at this year’s #SecondChance #FreedomBall in Washington, D.C.! Read @KERAnews: https://t.co/gVtcDBJJqt

Brittany Barnett began her crusade to help free people locked away because of harsh "War on Drugs" policies that disproportionately hurt Black communities.

An amazing victory!! So proud! We are so grateful for our partnership with @ArentFoxSchiff! And even more so that Mr. Lewis is going to sleep tonight a free man!
In a #ProBono partnership with @BuriedAliveProj, we helped secure the release of Tony Lewis, who has served 34 years of a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense. Lewis will be released today. #FirstStepAct #BuriedAliveProject

Sad the Florida Department of Corrections is starting to ban my book. I spoke nothing but TRUTH in the book and I've received hundreds of letters from people in prisons telling me that my book gave them so much hope. Shame on Florida DOC for trying to strip that hope away.

A step forward today. Hoping @POTUS actions today encourage state governors to follow suit. I hope it also means President Biden will be granting categorical clemency soon to every single person in federal prison serving time for marijuana. That will have a substantial impact. 🙏🏽

It sounds good. I do have questions. Like how many people will this impact? Demographics? How many have other convictions that will still handcuff them? I don't know anyone who had federal "simple possession" charges so I'm not sure.
I want to know @MsBKB reaction to the simple marijuana position immediately! I mean…please. I know she’s busy and important.

I went to law school because my dad was sentenced to life in prison for non-violent drug crimes. I did what I could to get him out. He did 20 years and got out right in time for my graduation.

Just finished this jewel by @MsBKB. Powerful, gripping, inspiring. If you want to change the world but aren’t sure if one person can make a difference, read this book. @BuriedAliveProj @GEM_AmplifyHER

We are happy to see this news and elated for the people on the list and their families! Hoping this is just the beginning and that thousands of people buried alive under outdated federal drugs laws are granted relief soon. There is nothing more urgent than freedom.
Today, President Biden is using his sweeping clemency powers for the first time, announcing three pardons and the commutations of 75 sentences of nonviolent drug officers. Follow our live updates:

Life saving victory! We are very proud to stand alongside our partners at Jackson Walker as we work together to free people serving unjust sentences under outdated federal drug laws. There is nothing more urgent than freedom.
We are proud to partner with @BuriedAliveProj to help free people in prison sentenced to life without parole for nonviolent drug offenses. Recently, our #probono team secured a reduction in the life sentence of Ray Charles Fields. https://t.co/5FRwzMJgbM
