[ [link removed] ]RSVP Today!


Dear John, 

Right now, hundreds of people in Oregon are imprisoned by a racist
non-unanimous jury law passed in 1934, following the rise of the Klu Klux
Klan in the state. Accordingly, for almost 90 years, someone in Oregon
could be convicted and caged even if two jurors returned a “not guilty”
verdict. As per usual, Black and Brown people have borne the brunt of the
consequences of this law.

[ [link removed] ]RSVP to our town hall to learn more about this racist law and how we
can free the people it imprisons. 

Though the Supreme Court ruled these non-unanimous juries unconstitutional
last year, hundreds still remain in prison and thousands out of prison are
burdened by their conviction. 

On April 22nd, join Color Of Change, The ACLU of Oregon, We Out Here
Magazine, and Brown Hope to hear from people directly impacted by
non-unanimous juries, learn more about the history, and what you can do to
support their release and freedom. 

[ [link removed] ]We hope to see you there. RSVP today!

Until justice is real,

 

The Criminal Justice Team at The Color Of Change
