Take Action

Call your U.S. Congressman to tell him that you want action to stop foreclosures now. Bear Stearns, the real estate industry and banks have lobbyists to support their interests. Unless you speak out, homeowners in crisis will be left out. To find out who your Congressman is, visit http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/.

Tell your member of Congress that you want the bankruptcy laws changed to permit homeowners to modify Adjustable Rate Mortgages.

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. Emanuel Jones... More>>

    'The struggle continues' - Jackson inspires change, action at SCSU with
    voter tour Latoya Taylor, a South Carolina State University senior,
    believes she's a person who can do something about the injustice and
    inequality which the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson says still continues for
    African-Americans. Taylor first saw Jackson during her freshman year at
    SCSU and was even more compelled to hear him speak this year as part
    of a voter education tour that is taking Jackson and his Rainbow PUSH
    Coalition across the state. For more of this story, click on the URL below:
