Rev. Charles Boyer:
We are told that many other organizations have agreed to
support the effort and are working on finalizing their statements. We believe though that is only the tip of the
surface of what is possible in NJ – not to mention the rest of this
nation. If 10s of 1000s of grassroots
groups across the whole country get behind this national growing project to
shut down enslavement inside the US’s mass incarceration nation . . . and if we
bring about a truly national response to this issue – on the eve of the 2016
elections . . . this could be one of the most effective actions to occur during
this election extravaganza.
Another way statements can be issued is by video. Record it on your phone, video camara or
whatever it takes. Upload it to youtube
or whatever your preferred video site is . . . and send the link to Decarc@DecarcerateNJ.org . Organizational as well as individual
statements are welcome. Organizations
that have already provided written statements, we encourage you to record a
video of a member reading your organizational statement (embellishing if you so
decide) and send it to us.
We will add the video links to this posting once they start
coming in! Stay tuned and keep the word
spreading.
