The Camden Comeback welcomes Decarcerate the Garden
State to Ferry Avenue Library in Camden, New Jersey for a panel discussion. “The
goal of this event is to begin the process of linking Camden with Trenton,
Jersey City, Paterson and Newark so that we may be able to educate OUR
residents on mass incarceration and to submit a holistic plan of action as a
grassroots movement with Decarcerate the Garden State,” Gary C Frazier Jr
(Founder of The Camden Comeback).
The keynote speaker of the event will be Dequi

Black Panther Collective. She served as national co-chair of the People of
African Descent Caucus for the Washington, DC-based United States Student
Association, and currently works with the NYC Jericho Movement in the campaign
to free United States political prisoners and prisoners of war.
National Jericho Movement locates political
prisoners, compiling records on them and building the case for amnesty; as well
as, providing supportive services such as to legal defense.
