What's Now w/ 15 Now NJ http://15nownj.org/

 In order to forge greater unity and communication around issues directly connected to our decarceration struggle, we are going to include information about related activities of our allied organizations.  15 Now NJ has assisted us in many of our outreach events and we have welcomed their materials and literature at our events as full meaningful employment is part of the equation of ending mass incarceration.  These news clips will change day to day as more information comes in about the activities being planned.    Ideally volunteers from these constituencies will play a direct role in maintaining this information so it can get out in a timely way.
