We even got some special awards from our Managing Editor Ninna. Cheers to Season 4! Thanks for listening 🎧 🥳

Greg wrote an Opinion piece in the on how the federal government’s cuts to public media funding are personal to him. Check it out (paywall-free!) via our .

He writes: “If we don’t fight for storytelling, we lose far more than jobs; we lose our truth. And when that silencing reaches into our prisons, where storytelling has become a lifeline, all of us, inside and out, lose something.”

We are so devastated to learn that an Uncuffed family member, Rasheed, passed away early this morning.

Rasheed served on our advisory board, and he played a big role in helping us grow, and more importantly, staying true to our values. He also worked on several Uncuffed pieces (Letters During Covid, and our Covid at San Quentin collaboration with Snap Judgment).

We remember him as a former firefighter and emergency responder inside San Quentin, a spokesperson and champion, a loving father, and a caring community member. Rasheed was loved by so many, and will be so missed. We're sending all our love to his family and friends.
