“In most cases to bear witness to another or a situation means that one is present to see the action, inaction, or solution that comes, but there is another layer to witnessing that is often forgotten. The witness is also there to furnish their personal knowledge of experience that relates to the situation. To truly bear witness is to serve as teacher, mediator, referee to the situation while being sure the party or parties learn, and hopefully award the pitfalls you already journeyed through, which is why bearing witness for our brethren is so important.” -Jacob L., a CLF member incarcerated in AR
