Executive Director here at CURB, Californians United for a Responsible Budget. Folks, my name is Amber-Rose Howard, you can call me Amber-Rose. First of all, tell us a little bit about yourself and about CURB.Īmber-Rose Howard: Okay. Because eventually, somebody will come down there and say, oh, y’all got to go. That the people that were told on June 19 that you’re free, were being held up for more labor until they didn’t have a choice but to tell them. As I said earlier, I outlined that we are celebrating something that, most people and most activists, realize that it’s a misrepresentation of reality. Mansa Musa: I opened up with, this is going to be out June 19, all things considered. It’s such an honor to speak with you today. Welcome, Amber.Īmber-Rose Howard: Thank you so much for having me on. Here to talk about this is Amber-Rose Howard, Executive Director of CURB. The tagline being offered by Californians United for a Responsible Budget or CURB is, we’re calling on California to close 10 prisons in five years. The 13th Amendment legalized slavery and with slavery comes abolition. This is the case when it comes to mass incarceration and the prison-industrial complex. What is being celebrated is, in essence, people remained in slavery well after they were freed. When we hear “June 19th” or “Juneteenth”, we are given the impression that we should be celebrating the end of slavery in one town, one part of Texas. Mansa Musa: Welcome to this edition of Rattling The Bars, I’m Mansa Musa. Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Cameron Granadino Keturah Herron (D) represents District 42 in the Kentucky House of Representatives. Keturah Herron joins Rattling the Bars to discuss the school-to-prison pipeline and how it can be tackled through state legislatures. Known as the school-to-prison pipeline, policies that criminalize youth and their families, from the presence of police in schools to discriminatory and punitive practices that push youth to drop out, disproportionately affect communities of color. The system of mass incarceration extends into the public education system.
