LATINO ACTION NETWORK CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION BY CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION

The Latino Action Network of New Jersey joined the Puerto Rican Action Committee of Southern NJ to call for the NJ Division of Civil Rights and the NJ Office of Public Integrity and Accountability to investigate allegations of discrimination against Latino and Latino-surnamed individuals called before the Millville municipal court.  

"We applaud the Puerto Rican Action Committee of Southern NJ for being at the forefront of this issue.  We will also address the utter absence of judicial diversity in Southern New Jersey and shine more light on these issues at every opportunity.  Thank You Judge Witcher" Cuqui Rivera, Criminal Justice Reform Chair, Latino Action Committee
