 grassroots delegation from various organizations to go the Left Forum in 
 NYC at the end of May.  A list of the organizations is below.\n \nThe film 
 "Broken On All Sides is a compelling documentary addressing racial 
 inequities within our criminal justice system and its devastating 
 collateral consequences. It is an excellent resource to use in educating, 
 motivating, and empowering your group, organization, or community on this 
 critical issue."  \n \nThe documentary centers around the theory put 
 forward by many, and most recently by Michelle Alexander (who appears in 
 the movie), that since the rise of the drug war and the explosion of the 
 prison population, and because discretion within the sys¬tem allows for 
 arrest and prosecution of people of color at alarmingly higher rates than 
 whites, prisons and criminal penal¬ties have become a new version of Jim 
 Crow. Read more about the film at http://tinyurl.com/mgho8xb .\n \nSince 
 its completion in February 2012 the director, Matthew Pillischer, has been 
 doing a grassroots tour of the movie: setting up meetings in cities across 
 the country, where a screening of the movie can kick off discussions by 
 people who were formerly incarcerated and their families and allies on how 
 we can dismantle the system of mass incarceration.\n \nMore information on
