We can’t go on this way’: More than 200 brave cold for WNY Women’s March – Jonathan D. Epstein, Buffalo News
Peart, a Peace Center board member and member of the Campaign for Alternatives to Isolated Confinement, warned that the United States has become one of the world’s biggest jailers of women, citing a statistic that the female incarceration rate has increased sevenfold in the last 40 years. She added that more than 12,000 pregnant women are jailed every year.

“‘If we had the same type of scrutiny directed at the police, I’m not sure we’d be where we are right now,’ said Tanvier Peart, a board member at the WNY Peace Center. To make her point, Peart reels off the names of African American men and women at the center of brutality complaints and wonders aloud why Brown never held a news conference regarding them.”
