Robert Wood, PSF Board Director and Senior Social Media Advisor, as well as #cut50 ambassador, sat down to talk to Dirk van Velzen, CEO at PSF, about how he entered federal prison as a gang member serving 25 years for a drug conspiracy and ended up earning four degrees including a dual Bachelor's of Science in Small Business Management and Marketing, graduated magna cum laude, and began his MBA degree. As he continues his volunteer efforts for both organizations he is writing a book entitled, Wired to Win, which is designed to help others in tough situations understand what it takes to succeed in any situation.

He even has an app (JR Media on the App Store) where you can read/listen to the stories of every person shown in the piece, to "share the process and embrace the complexity of human actions and feelings we have witnessed."

Everyone is sick of COVID but a lot of people, mainly poor and minority, are sick with COVID. There’s an ongoing tragedy. Try to help where you can: food bank donations, help for free clinics, and masking come to mind. These are our brothers and sisters. Let’s treat them as such.

Seattle Police sounds what they do best. I’ve heard they will be handing out water and masks at one of the protests today. This is what they were handing out last night. https://twitter.com/daeshikjr/status/1266639620940296192

DÆ@daeshikjr

Another video of Seattle PD body slamming a protesting then giving them a ground and pound. This is major abuse. Do not let mainstream media lie to you. The cops aren’t being peaceful and inciting violence. This is America. #seattleprotest #JusticeForGeorge #BlackLivesMatter

The Secretary of the Washington Department of Corrections today sent a letter to private telecom Securus (JPay) with the results of a survey of families in this state: "I have grave concerns about the quality of products/services your company has been providing to Washington DOC"
