Organizer Campaign To End the New Jim Crow
Organizer of The New Jim Crow - 10 Years Later
We are a grass roots coalition of organizations, activists, leaders and concerned individuals engaged with the Trenton and Princeton communities who have come together in an effort to end mass incarceration. We have been inspired by Michelle Alexander’s book, "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness", by the many predecessors and allies of this movement, and most of all by the individuals, families and communities whose lives have been disrupted or destroyed by the system we seek to change.
