A “Still in Prison” Campaign Teach-In

Thursday, August 12, 2021 4 Elul 5781

12:00 PM - 1:15 PMRSVP for Zoom Info

Do you want to work toward restoring justice? Learn about Oregon’s history with a racist law supported by the Ku Klux Klan that was recently declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Sadly, despite the decision, the work to undo the injustice of this racist Oregon law is not finished. You can take action to seek justice for all Oregonians. No one should remain wrongfully imprisoned by an explicitly racist, antisemitic, xenophobic discriminatory law.

After nearly 90 years of injustice by an inequitable judicial system, the opportunity for justice should not be ignored.

Speakers include Dr. Aliza Kaplan, Professor of Lawyering and Director, Criminal Justice Reform Clinic, and Terrence Hayes. In 2013, Terrence was released from prison after serving 9 years. He was convicted by a non-unanimous jury. AG Ellen Rosenblum was the judge on his case in 2004.

Can’t make it? Sign the community letter and speak out. Get Attorney General Rosenblum to push the legislature to right this wrong. Join us in solidarity and make a difference to ensure all Oregonians have Kavod (dignity, honor and respect).

–Shir Tikva, P'nai Or, Bend the Arc, Never Again Action - Portland, EJC, Tisch, Alberta Shul, Matzah Block, and Havurah Shalom.

 

This event will take place in a special Zoom Room. RSVP for access.
