Criminal Injustice in Louisiana Continues

Children all across our nation stand and pledge their allegiance to our flag which waves the promises of liberty and justice for all. Yet in countless communities, across America, our judicial system is being prejudiced by racial intolerance, leaving an indelible mark on the law.[1]

A CALL FOR JUSTICE: On the heels of the historic interventions of the Judiciary Committee and the Congressional Black Caucus into the injustices in Jena, we support a full investigation into the case of the Angola 3 - three innocent men held in solitary confinement for over 3 decades for trying to speak out against inhumane treatment and racial segregation.

We believe that only by openly examining the failures and inequities of the criminal justice system in America can we restore integrity to that system.
