Arkansas Explained: What to know about the Board of Corrections | Arkansas Advocate The Board of Corrections that runs Arkansas’ prison and parole systems has its first new chairman in two decades, and a majority appointed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Arkansans deserve public safety, not infighting symptomatic of poor governing or a new prison.

The board should prioritize investing in proven recidivism prevention solutions, like drug treatment and education programs, and fair parole revocation proceedings.

New lawsuit challenges Arkansas’s abortion banΒ  - Arkansas Times While Arkansas officials boast about being β€œthe most pro-life state” in America, a new lawsuit says β€œthe reality of life for Arkansans and their families is anything but.”

ICYMI: Living a safe and healthy life is a basic right, and that includes being able to obtain #abortion care. #Arkansans deserve the same level of #healthcare available in other states, not a ban on care.

Delayed insurance coverage for doula services frustrates Arkansas parents and providers | Arkansas Advocate The state's proposed rules for Medicaid coverage of doula care became public Sunday, over a month after the legally mandated deadline.

#Arkansas mothers and families deserve access to every form of #healthcare available, including the support #doulas provide.

Our legislators should act to prevent further coverage delays.

Arkansans are being sent back to prison through unfair parole revocation proceedings β€” no lawyers, no real hearings, and no chance to defend themselves. This lawsuit is about due process, dignity, and stopping a system that quietly fuels mass incarceration instead of justice.

BREAKING: We've joined a lawsuit defending people peacefully protesting and documenting ICE activity in Minnesota from retaliation by the Trump administration.

We have a constitutional right to protest and record law enforcement in public.

Families of two men believed to have been killed in military strike on boat sue US government over 'unlawful' attacks | CNN Politics As the US military began launching strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean last year, a young Trinidadian man who was in Venezuela for work was searching for a way home, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday.

In October, the Trump administration bombed a civilian boat, killing Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo as they were traveling home to Trinidad and Tobago.

We’re suing the government on behalf of their families to get justice for these murders.

The Senate votes tomorrow on giving ICE a blank check to continue its abusive and unconstitutional actions.

ICE already has massive funding β€” and a long record of abuse. No more taxpayer dollars for cruelty.

Tell your Senator: Vote NO. Protect our communities.

Arkansas has a long, painful history of racial injustice.

Facing that truth reminds us why Dr. King’s work remains unfinished, and why we must keep fighting for justice, equality, and dignity for all.

We stand with Minneapolis: peaceful assembly, due process, and constitutional rights must be protected, not overridden by fear or force.
