Here is the answer from Michelle Alexander:<br /><br />"I find that people often ask me, as I speak about issues related to climate change and the war in Gaza and the threats related to the rise in technology: What does any of this have to do with mass incarceration or police violence, the issues and causes that have been most pressing and most important to me for much of my life? And what I always say is that these issues have everything to do with mass incarceration. These are existential crises that we face because we have persisted in treating people and all of creation as exploitable and disposable, unworthy of our care and concern. We are lost in the delusion that we can solve problems or do justice or achieve peace and security simply by locking people up, throwing away the key, destroying their lives and families, getting rid of them, declaring wars on them, wars on drugs, wars on crime, wars on Gaza." - Michelle Alexander<br /><br />Thank you Mark for highlighting this quote.<br /><br />The ENJAN Curators<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326637405615224062.post-42849868055216099242024-03-09T11:08:00.000-05:002024-03-09T11:08:12.057-05:00Hudson Valley Parole Justice Advocacy Day<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYHs4BVYNqvdWBqAgyNOC8DwoPmrV3BV6uJwMMejwkQrIkIx3Y0e7aJfNKeipTMLGGrr-8Rxv2i9o4DYEoBzV38fkP7Xz_yuy2ErpucaCm1ICktZxNOyuD7lSjKqiPpo-1Z7cdmifFAOEMAkKPKVgfaxXeIkUFIUlhItXD28ERROfEv7d-9BbXxCuKQNI/s1200/GH1436gWMAA5Mek.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYHs4BVYNqvdWBqAgyNOC8DwoPmrV3BV6uJwMMejwkQrIkIx3Y0e7aJfNKeipTMLGGrr-8Rxv2i9o4DYEoBzV38fkP7Xz_yuy2ErpucaCm1ICktZxNOyuD7lSjKqiPpo-1Z7cdmifFAOEMAkKPKVgfaxXeIkUFIUlhItXD28ERROfEv7d-9BbXxCuKQNI/w400-h300/GH1436gWMAA5Mek.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>RAPP (Release Aging People in Prison) will be hosting a Parole Justice Advocacy Day this coming Wednesday, March 13th at the Capitol Building in Albany.

Wilson, Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals hosted the annual State of the Judiciary Hearing in Albany. This year's event highlighted a shift in focus from courts that are solely concerned with determining guilt or innocence to courts that are actually trying to solve problems and help people. Instead of filling the session with speeches and political rhetoric, Chief Judge Wilson chose to invite a variety of speakers who have had their lives changed through various types of problem solving and treatment courts. Each speaker was truly moving, and the session provides some encouraging evidence that the New York court system is actually progressing in a positive direction. <br /><br />You can view the hearing here: </div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/news/SOJ_2024.html">https://www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/news/SOJ_2024.html</a><br /><br />The session runs 90 minutes, but is well worth watching. It is unfortunate that Governor Hochul did not stay to hear all the personal success stories.<br /><br />The ENJAN Curators</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326637405615224062.post-67070794747855652232024-03-02T08:16:00.004-05:002024-03-02T08:16:43.742-05:00Sunday, March 3 from 3-5 pm<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8VvaeBj9dsVPV9zxzfhEz08RfUPr-Qudl1EIYiDsW4SMlIszBExNYQzFX0dZCyuYipIViWhUMrhQLZSkFX8VNXDCwr2gf2r-aicwdAu-kOhK8ijKorCp6s_9Z80ornfz4lsqtWD-M1xE5UxvkKi8JOVPyEx7e7Em9DeRBRpA5bBkuuuzfYHc9YiMsEpU/s625/PANEL0324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8VvaeBj9dsVPV9zxzfhEz08RfUPr-Qudl1EIYiDsW4SMlIszBExNYQzFX0dZCyuYipIViWhUMrhQLZSkFX8VNXDCwr2gf2r-aicwdAu-kOhK8ijKorCp6s_9Z80ornfz4lsqtWD-M1xE5UxvkKi8JOVPyEx7e7Em9DeRBRpA5bBkuuuzfYHc9YiMsEpU/w320-h400/PANEL0324.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #cf3932; font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline !important; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; white-space: pre-line;">As the duopoly continues to show its ass, we need to take a hard look at ourselves and our community.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-line;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-line;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline !important; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; white-space: pre-line;">Why are we here?

As many of you know, Daniel's law is focused on reducing police involvement in mental health crisis responses, focusing instead on having mental health professionals lead the response. ENJAN Poughkeepsie strongly supports this proposed new legislation at the state level. The Albany, NY event will take place on September 23rd from noon until 3:00 pm. Please consider turning out to show your support. We also encourage you to write your local state legislators to voice your support for this bill.

It seems like everyone there had a story to tell of Mae's dedication and bravery when fighting for racial justice. She used to stop her car when the police arrested a Black motorist or walker. And she would get her camera out, just so the police would know someone was watching them. And that was thirty years ago.</p><p>Mae has her own special place on that "moral arc of the universe," as Martin Luther King described it. The reason that arc "bends toward justice" is the millions of people like Mae Parker-Harris who have never quite given up on our country.
