9 Ways You Can Stop Mass Incarceration
- Vote against the war on drugs. The war on drugs is actually a war on people. A war cannot be waged against an inanimate object.
- Vote for drug treatment - not punishment.
- Vote against mandatory minimum sentencing. Mandatory minimum sentencing takes the sentencing power away from the judge.
- Spread the word about mass incarceration and The New Jim Crow.
- Vote for better public schools - schools for everyone - not charter schools for a few.
- Tell everyone that we want to be a land of opportunities, not a land of oppression.
- Vote to have drugs controlled by pharmacies and taxed.
- Get angry.
- Stay angry.

* Affirmative Action / Reparations
