He has now helped pass #HB188, which allows Alabama students to appeal school punishments and have legal representation — a right he never had. 📲 Follow the 🔗 in our bio for this week's #WeekendRead spotlighting Jones' experience participating in the UnitedNations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent and a panel for Youth Voices for Justice. #DueProcessRights #SPLCAL
