#FREEVERNONNOW COLLECTIVE

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

-Assata Shakur

On July 10, 2020, a group of us formed the #FreeVernonNow collective to fight for Vernon's physical freedom from the oppressive prison system. We are a group of educators, healers, health care workers, artists, community organizers, techies who are committed to learning, organizing and fighting to end mass incarceration, starting with our loving friend Vernon Evans.
