Over the last decade, over 100 poor and low-wealth people have died in West Virginia regional jails. On Friday we stood in #Charleston with families of the deceased, @WestVirginiaPPC and @revdrbarber to demand justice for the families. (1/6)
Alongside the @WestVirginiaPPC & families of the deceased, we went to the West Virginia State Capitol to deliver our petition demanding an end to the inhumane & unconstitutional conditions in West Virginia's jails. #PoorPeoplesCampaign
