Take Action
Genarlow Wilson has been released! Thanks to the Georgia Supreme
Court, B.J. Berstein, Senator Emanuel Jones, Representative Alisha
Thomas Morgan, Senator Vincent Fort, Dr. Joseph E. Lowery and Helen
Butler of Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda, Francis Johnson
of the NAACP the SCLC, Concerned Black Clergy, National Action
Network and everyone who participated in this fight. We have good
reason to celebrate – Justice has been administered. We wish
Genarlow and his family God’s grace and mercy.
But too many young people are receiving sentences that are
disproportionate to the behavior they are accused of. Genarlow
admits that he exercised poor judgment. That is not the question.
The question is whether the time fits the crime. We have more work
to do. We must make changes to the law to give other young people a
chance to lead productive lives, despite youthful mistakes. No
person should receive cruel or unusual punishment. If you would
like to see other youngsters avoid long periods of incarceration for
behavior similar to Genarlow’s, contact your Georgia state Senator
or Representative to urge passage of Senate Bill 37, offered by Sen.
