Stanley Richards leading NYC jails is a historic win. 📈

But media, listen up: dehumanizing headlines harm 70M+ system-impacted Americans. Words matter. Dignity is non-negotiable.

Calvin Duncan was just elected clerk of the criminal court in #NewOrleans! He spent 28 years in prison on a WRONGFUL CONVICTION—and yet The New York Times called him a “CONVICT” in its headline. WHY?

We need the media to adopt #PersonFirst language!

#YESquote: The Collected #Schizophrenias/ Esmé Weijun Wang - "No one ever says that a person is cancer, or that they have become cancer, but they do say that a person is #manic-depressive or #schizophrenic, once those #illnesses have taken hold.” #PersonFirst #LanguageMatters bit.ly/45cmDbd

People who are literally no longer in prison labeled as “prisoners.” Media, please. Do better.

The ability to self-identify is crucial, especially in very recent times. "Person with #Autism" or "#Autistic person"? Language matters. #IdentityFirst #PersonFirst #Neurodivergent"
