DESCRIPTION:For many communities, people of color, and activists in the fight for 
 racial justice, the abolitionist movement never ended. Racial oppression 
 was not vanquished by the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil Rights Act 
 or the election of President Obama. Our society has found new, violent ways 
 to enforce racial inequality. \n\nMichelle Alexander states in her book 
 "The New Jim Crow," “We have not ended racial caste in America; we have 
 merely redesigned it.”  In response, scholars, activists and organizers 
 are building a powerful movement to demand an end to mass incarceration. 
 \n\nThe Bay Area chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) will hold 
 a discussion on February 23 featuring movement leaders to address how we 
 can dismantle the New Jim Crow and fight for a visionary new system 
 together.\n\nSpeakers: \n• Fania Davis, Executive Director, Restorative 
 Justice for Oakland Youth\n• Dorsey Nunn, Co-Founder, All of Us or None 
 and Executive Director, Legal Services for Prisoners with Children\n• 
 Zachary Norris, Executive Director, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights\n\n
