Victime de violence conjugale, Susan Brown a traversé l'inconcevable. Son parcours en détention montre qu'elle est une femme forte, engagée et créative, capable d'apporter beaucoup aux autres. Je soutiens sa demande de clémence auprès de la gouverneure Gretchen Whitmer

There is a disparity in the justice system regarding Black people this case deserves a review.

Why in the EVER LIVING FCK is SHE EVEN IN JAIL?!?! She not only saved her life but was protecting the life of her CHILD! Yet ANOTHER example of how FCKED the "Justice" system is! A WHITE MAN CAN RAPE A CHILD FOR YEARS AND GET LESS THAN 30 DAYS AND YET SHE IS STILL IN JAIL, YALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!

Women are disproportionately punished for protecting themselves or those they love.

a crime was committed by someone who immediately faced consequences for his hate and violence towards a woman and her unborn child. 23 years is prison for defense of self and her child is 23 years too long. this individual has been an incredible example of a human being throughout her time in the Michigan carceral system, imagine how much more of an incredible community member she would be with her freedom!

Women are legally allowed to defend themselves!!! Sentences like these do nothing more than permit the perpetuation of harm, danger and evil in society against their most vulnerable members.

I'm a married to a woman. I have sisters. I have a mother. Ensuring women are safe is the responsibility of everyone.
