DESCRIPTION:In the United States, 2.4 million are locked up in prisons and jails, and 
 another 5 million under control of the criminal justice system. Almost 50 
 percent of those are African American males, who are 6.4 percent of the 
 total population.\n\nThe prison system and the death penalty represent the 
 “New Jim Crow” that carries systematic racism to uphold the capitalist 
 system.\n\nForty years ago, prisoners at Attica prison stood up to the 
 inhumane and racist conditions they suffered. They were defeated by a 
 bloody crackdown by the government that killed dozens of people. Though 
 they were defeated, it caused several important reforms in the prison 
 system.\n\nToday, prisoners are resisting being treated like animals. 
 People are joining the movement to abolish the death penalty after the 
 legal lynching of Troy Davis. Join a meeting and discussion about the 
 movement to end the criminal injustice system.\n\n
