DECARCERATE THE GARDEN STATE LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR MILLION PEOPLES MARCH

MILLION PEOPLES MARCH ENDORSEMENT

To our friends and colleagues in the Million Peoples March Organizing Effort:

We are writing on behalf of the Committee to Decarcerate the Garden State to formerly endorse or co-sponsor the MILLION PEOPLES MARCH initiative of POP.

We would also like to respectfully propose that under the unifying banner of  People's Organization For Progress MILLION PEOPLE'S MARCH Against Police Brutality, Racial Injustice, And Economic Inequality, that the march committee develop specific language to address the most pressing issue of mass incarceration and ideally, that the march include in its demands a specific demand for “sweeping” decarceration legislation in the state of New Jersey.  Furthermore, as one of our key members of our organization is Renee Felton, we ask that the cause of her son Kwadir Felton, who was blinded by police bullet and then sentenced to 16 years for a weapons charge without any physical evidence and a trumped up conspiracy charge, be included beside all of the other families of victims of police violence with impunity.

We will utilize our resources, including our blog site, website, literature and our “Tour de Decarerate” roving panel discussion to promote and help organize the event and will hopefully help spread the word about it particularly throughout the state of New Jersey.Please let us know what else endorsement or co-sponsorship entails.

Thank you for this opportunity to work side by side Peoples Organization for Progress and other justice seeking organizations – we are sure the event will be a tremendous success.

ENDORSED UNANIMOUSLY BY DECARCERATE THE GARDEN STATE
