SUMMARY:Justice Deferred: Detaining Youth
DESCRIPTION:According to the ACLU\, an estimated 250\,000 youth are prosecuted in adult criminal courts and subjected to the consequences of adult criminal convictions. In addition\, 36 states continue to incarcerate youth under 18 in adult jails and prisons\, where young people are at greater risk of degrading mental health\, dying by completing suicide and both physical and sexual assault. \n\n\n\nThe over-representation of youth of color in youth detention centers and adult prisons remains a persistent and troubling dynamic. Nowhere is that more present than in the state of Georgia\, where many are still seeking the unfulfilled promises of bi-partisan juvenile reform that prioritizes raising the age\, ending juvenile life without parole\, and reexamining sentencing youth as adults. \n\n\n\nJoin us for legislative solutions we know will honor the humanity of young people and prove not only cost-effective but work in transforming safety for our families and communities.

SUMMARY:Viral Justice: Ruha Benjamin In Conversation with Fahamu Pecou
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Southern Center for Human Rights as we host Dr. Ruha Benjamin to discuss her latest work\, Viral Justice\, in conversation with Dr. Fahamu Pecou. \n\n\n\nLong before the pandemic\, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race\, technology\, and justice\, focusing on big\, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small\, individual actions. Part memoir\, part manifesto\, Viral Justice is a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we make every day. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Ruha Benjamin is an internationally recognized writer\, speaker\, and professor of African American Studies at Princeton University\, where she is the founding director of the Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab. She is the award-winning author of Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code and editor of Captivating Technology\, among many other publications. Her work has been featured widely in the media\, including the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, CNN\, The Root\, and The Guardian. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Fahamu Pecou is an interdisciplinary artist and scholar whose works combine observations on hip-hop\, fine art\, and popular culture to address concerns around contemporary representations of Black men. Through paintings\, performance art\, and academic work\, Dr. Pecou confronts the performance of Black masculinity and Black identity\, challenging and expanding the reading\, performance\, and expressions of Blackness. \n\n\n\nPecou’s work is featured in noted private and public national and international collections including; Smithsonian National Museum of African American Art and Culture\, Societe Generale (Paris)\, Nasher Museum at Duke University\, The High Museum of Art\, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, Paul R. Jones Collection\, ROC Nation\, Clark Atlanta University Art Collection and Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSafety Protocols\n\n\n\nWe are committed to the safety of our staff and supporters.

SUMMARY:Mass Incarceration: Ending the Trend of Imprisoning America

SUMMARY:The Death Penalty: Ending a Biased System
DESCRIPTION:On June 29\, 1972\, the United States Supreme Court struck down the death penalty in Furman v. Georgia. They ruled that the death penalty was applied in a manner that disproportionately harmed people of color and those living in poverty. Although Georgia reinstated the death penalty four years later\, the majority opinion in Furman v. Georgia is as true today as it was in 1972. The death penalty needs to go! \n\n\n\nPlease join the Southern Center for Human Rights as we welcome a panel of experts to address the issues and flaws with the death penalty\, its impact on people living in poverty\, people of color\, and people living with mental illness and intellectual disabilities. \n\n\n\nModerator \n\n\n\nWaleisah Wilson\, Client Services Advocate \n\n\n\nExperts \n\n\n\nHerman Lindsey\, Florida Death Row Exoneree & Criminal Justice Reform Consultant\, Witness to Innocence & Repent JusticeJoia Erin Thornton\, National Policy Strategist\, SCHR & Coalition Director\, Faith Leaders of Color Coalition (FLOCC)Gretchen M.

SUMMARY:25th Annual Frederick Douglass Awards Dinner

This gala allows us to illuminate allies who share our vision and commitment to a more just society. \n\n\n\nProceeds from the Frederick Douglass Awards Dinner support SCHR’s work to protect the civil and human rights of people ensnared by the criminal legal system. \n\n\n\nSCHR is thrilled to celebrate Virginia’s repeal of the death penalty and to honor the bold\, persistent advocacy of Dale Brumfield\, Michael Stone\, Rev.
