🙌🏽 Today, on JINS Podcast (@jins_podcast), I’m having a super conversation with Rep. Mauree Turner (They/Them/Theirs). Mauree is the current Representative for Oklahoma’s 88th House District & a Queer, Non-binary, Okie Muslim. Rep. Turner (@maureeturnerok) was formerly the Regional Field Director Oklahoma's Campaign for Smart Justice, an ACLU initiative focusing on criminal justice reform and its many intersections. Their life’s works are geared towards fighting for and maintaining the civil rights and liberties of all. Mauree Turner is the first Muslim elected in Oklahoma, and the first non-binary person elected to a state level position in US history, they understand why equitable and accurate representation matters. It's not about reform, but about reimagining and rebuilding our justice system, with our communities in mind. They have championed legislation for accurate and equitable documentation for our community members who live beyond the binary, repealing nuisance laws that gives law enforcement more access to our already vulnerable communities, started community conversations about why it's important to focus on alternatives to incarceration in the community liberation we are seeking, & much more. 🎧 Be it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or else, don’t forget to subscribe to @jins_podcast and to leave your questions in the comment section.
