9 Ways You Can Stop Mass Incarceration

  1. Vote against the war on drugs.
  2. Vote for drug treatment – not punishment.
  3. Vote against mandatory minimum sentencing. Mandatory minimum sentencing takes the sentencing power away from the judge.
  4. Spread the word about mass incarceration and The New Jim Crow.
  5. Vote for better public schools – schools for everyone – not charter schools for a few.
  6. Tell everyone that we want to be a land of opportunities, not a land of oppression.
  7. Vote to have drugs controlled by pharmacies and taxed.
  8. Get angry.
  9. Stay angry.

The role of the revolutionary press

 

In December 1964, Malcolm X gave a speech at Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom.  In one of his most famous statements, he told his audience,

“If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing…[The oppressor] fighting you in the morning, fighting you in the noon, fighting you at night and fighting you all in between, and you still think it’s wrong to fight him back. Why? The press. The newspapers make you look wrong. As long as you take a beating, you’re all right. That’s the press. That’s the image-making press. That thing is dangerous if you don’t guard yourself against it.”

the majority of people will never grasp this term Brotherhood/sisterhood. The wounds are just too deep.
-Paraphrase from Giibwanisi
