inspired and guided by Michelle Alexander's book, "Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness." Mass incarceration and the New Jim crow will end when:
-Communities of color fully understand that this is our struggle and that we must work together to dismantle the new caste system
-We confront and challenge the racists bias in our laws, policing practices, prosecutorial discretion, adjudicat
ion and sentencing
-We no longer use criminal convictions to deny people the right to vote, access to housing, education, employment and other human rights
-We focus on improving the conditions of people instead of locking them up for their responses to their conditions
