56 | SPEAR | Students for Prison Education and Reform: Princeton University (SPEAR) | The United States has one quarter of the world’s prison population. Since the 1980s, the number of incarcerated Americans has nearly quadrupled. Hispanics are incarcerated at twice the rate whites are, and African Americans are incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate whites are. Was this mass incarceration caused by an increase in crime, drug use, or general population? No. Has imprisoning more people significantly reduced crime? No. Are African Americans and Hispanics significantly more likely than whites to use or sell drugs? Not in the least. We, as Princetonians, must end this, one of the most egregious civil rights atrocities of our generation. For empathy or for reason; for the society or for the economy, join the Students for Prison Education and Reform (SPEAR). Our ongoing tasks will be to build awareness, support volunteer opportunities, research policy recommendations, and advocate for change with legislative bodies. | Princeton, NJ | http://blogs.princeton.edu/spear/ | https://twitter.com/princetonSPEAR | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

63 | Women | Women's Prison Book Project | Since 1994, the Women’s Prison Book Project (WPBP) has provided women and transgender persons in prison with free reading materials covering a wide range of topics from law and education (dictionaries, GED, etc.) to fiction, politics, history, and women’s health. We are an all-volunteer, grassroots organization. We seek to build connections with those behind the walls, and to educate those of us on the outside about the realities of prison and the justice system. | Minneapolis, MN | http://www.wpbp.org | womensprisonbookproject@gmail.com | https://www.facebook.com/pages/Womens-Prison-Book-Project/60222749851 | https://twitter.com/wpbp | Yes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
64 | YJC | The Youth Justice Coalition (YJC) | The Youth Justice Coalition (YJC) is working to build a youth, family and prisoner-led movement to challenge race, gender and class inequality in Los Angeles County’s and California’s juvenile injustice systems. Our goal is to dismantle policies and institutions that have ensured the massive lock-up of people of color; widespread police violence, corruption and distrust between police and communities; disregard of youth and communities’ Constitutional and human rights; the construction of a vicious school-to-jail track; and the build-up of the world’s largest network of juvenile halls, jails and prisons. The YJC uses direct action organizing, advocacy, political education, transformative justice and activist arts to mobilize system-involved youth, families and our allies – both in the community and within lock-ups – to bring about change. | Inglewood, CA | Los Angeles County | http://www.youth4justice.org/ | freelanow@yahoo.com | https://www.facebook.com/YouthJusticeCoalition | https://twitter.com/YouthJusticeLA | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
