    The document discusses the "New Jim Crow Movement" in Jacksonville, which aims to confront racial disparities in the criminal justice system through policy advocacy, education, prisoner support, and prevention. It notes that minorities, especially black and Latino males, are disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system. The movement calls for increased legal support and representation for families in the court system who cannot afford lawyers. It argues that while outright racial discrimination is illegal, discrimination against convicted criminals has created a new form of discrimination that unfairly impacts African Americans.

    THE JACKSONVILLE NEW JIM CROW MOVEMENT

    Community supports to confront the New Jim Crow in the areas of policy change and advocacy, education, prisoner support, and prevention.

    The Cradle to the Prison Pipeline has targeted African and Latino descendants, black and brown males, defenseless to the New Jim Crow . We have watched the deliberate indifference

    turn in intentional disregard of the legal system when these racial disparities continue to ignore the ample documentation of (DMC) Disproportionate Minority Contact statistics.

    African-American & Latino Lawyer Appeal

    Jacksonville Duval County Court House cost almost 300 million dollars. Families are in and out of this courthouse daily without legal supports, legal understanding of the law, and/or legal representation. All these situations are geared at the African American and Latino populations. Today the criminal justice system separates an extraordinary percentage of the African American community from society either by direct incarceration or traps them in a parallel social universe by permanently branding them ex-convicts. In most states, upon release from prison, ex-convicts are denied basic civil and human rightsincluding the right to vote, the right to serve on juries, as well as exclusion from employment, food stamps, public housing, and student loans to say nothing of the unquantifiable social stigma.

    When a lawyer takes an oath with the Bar Association they promise to give anywhere from 5-20 hours per year of Pro Bono support we want to know how many of our state and county lawyers are helping those in need. This appeal is for those that fill the courthouse every day without any legal advice or representation. Our society no longer accepts race as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, or social contempt. Yet, it is perfectly legal to discriminate against convicted criminals in nearly all the ways in which Jim Crow laws discriminated against African Americans. Once labeled a felon, even for a minor drug crime or a non-violent offence, the old forms of discrimination are suddenly legal again.
