Greetings Community, We would like to invite you to:
Join us tonight at our next Campaign to End the New Jim Crow organizing meeting as we strategize and mobilize to end mass incarceration.
CAMPAIGN TO END THE NEW JIM CROW **All welcome!**
We hope to use this meeting to develop study groups, community outreach, hold our decision makers accountable and start working together as a larger citywide movement by linking the struggles. Some of our current projects include a community forum on police violence, the case on the Central Park 5 and its impact on NYS criminal justice, planning for a statewide conference, and creating a speakers' bureau and other outreach materials. |

At a recent event against drug prohibition I was asked to speak, as I was asked to speak the year before. Well, my views on drug prohibition have been consistently consistent----prohibition is sheer bull---t! It is my opinion that the entire narrative around drugs in this country (and the world) has to be changed. For far too long we have framed the discussion in terms of law and public policy. It is time for a change because that conversation is not going anywhere. The conversation has to be reframed in terms of “human rights” and an individuals inalienable right to choose what he/she can put in their bodies. |

Dear friend, This fall, New Yorkers will elect their first new mayor in 12 years.
Will the next mayor end the NYPD's abusive and discriminatory policing practices or maintain the status quo?
The candidates will address stop-and-frisk and other policing-related issues.Under Mayor Bloomberg, the NYPD has run roughshod over the constitutional rights of millions of New Yorkers.
You can help ensure that our city's next mayor rejects the Bloomberg administration's stop-and-frisk abuses in favor of policing tactics that keep us safe and build trust between communities and the polic |
