Good morning,
We understand and recognize that your labor, your vote, your families, our public safety are at imminent risk when the justice system wrongfully convicts, punishes instead of rehabilitates, and sends home broken spirits, shells of who our loved ones used to be. We have joined forces with other organizations and movements to highlight how far reaching the collateral consequences of convictions are. Our mission is to demand accountability, transparency, and timely correction by our justice system when the dignity, value and human rights of people who interact with them are violated.
Tomorrow we will be on the New Haven Green- 12pm noon Festival - 3pm Rally - 5pm March
Join FreeAbdus with the Civil Liberties Contingent in New Haven!
