Please join Color Of Change, Define American, and Union Theological Seminary on September 6 and 7 on Union’s campus for Exodus: Building a Movement to End Mass Incarceration and Mass Detention. This
two-day, interactive symposium will help attendees understand mass
incarceration and mass detention more deeply, learn concrete skills to
confront them, and begin to envision what a just society would look
like. Click here to learn more and to RSVP.
For
too long, these issues have been treated as if they were wholly
distinct when, in fact, the system that seeks to criminalize and
disenfranchise communities of color is the same as that which otherizes
and dehumanizes migrants. It’s time for faith leaders, journalists and
politicians to reject these lies, and the white supremacist ideology
that undergirds them.

The organization was incorporated in 2018 with an exemplary board of directors, including a retired police captain as board chairman. The RightThere Corporation is now among the first to offer a formidable, technological solution for civilians who fear the threat of police misconduct and other potentially dangerous situations.
