To All Supporters of Justice and Fairness:
Removal of the check Box & Voting rights back to all ex offenders
Be a part of history! Join Jersey Freedom Marchers as we seek prison reform and some justice in the justice system.
If you thought activism was dead, if you thought the spirit of the march as an instrument of social change was behind us, if you thought that the tumultuous decades of the mid Twentieth Century were gone, you may be surprised!

In a spirit that recalls the march from Selma to Montgomery, a March for Justice,is planned. The March will cover thirty two miles from Camden to Trenton on September 14th -17th. The focal point of the March is a broken system of Justice. At the end, we will rally at the New Jersey Statehouse. Along the way we are planning to protest at some state correctional facilities like Garden State Youth Correctional Facility, Bo Robinson Treatment Center and the State Parole Board Office.
The organizers of the March seek to draw attention to several points of concern in the "injustice” system,including; an end the industry of incarceration, such as the growing use of prison and confinement to solve the problem of social inequity; an end to mandatory minimum sentencing; an end to torture and sensory deprivation,including solitary confinement; an end to unaccountable use of private agents and agencies to carry out public responsibilities, and finally an end to the expectation that treatment of individuals as animals will transform them into productive citizens. In short, a justice system that is worthy of the ideals of the Constitution, where fairness, transparency and truth will replace the expedient, the hidden and the influence of the dollar.
Day 1 march will start Friday 10:30 am at The Walter Rand Transportaion Center .
Sponsored by Occupy the Hood NJ, The Camden Come Back (PAC), Diamond Day Committee, Occupy Trenton, Big Lou "Lost City" Productions, We Are Camden LLC, The People's Imam' Brother Faheem Lea of Quaba School & Islamic Center
