Chapter Lead Gets Congressional Proclamation at #EndSlaveryInGA & #EndTheException Mural Reveal in Cabbagetown
Our collaborative #endtheexception & #endslaveryinGA mural was revealed and installed on 9/2/23 in Cabbagetown at 727 Wylie St. SE in Atlanta. Stop by and take a look! Our mural was the 1st in a series of murals that will be installed in the South by Worth Rises & Mural Arts Philadelphia. Chapter Lead, Waleisah, and the chapter received a proclamation from Congresswoman Nikema Williams honoring the chapter's work and our campaign to end prison slavery in Georgia!
The mural reveal was followed by a screening (of Chapter Lead's Waleisah's "Working in Captivity: A Woman's Quest to End Slavery in GA"), a discussion and dinner. The event was featured in ARTS ATL magazine: "Today in Street Art: Cabbagetown Mural Advocates for Change in 13th Amendment"
Congresswoman Nikema Williams, along with Senators Jeff Merkley & Cory Booker, reintroduced the federal abolition bill into Congress in 2023 to amend the exception in the 13 amendment that legalizes slavery for people convicted of a crime. This exception has been the "excuse" used to exploit, traffic and lease human beings simply to hold on to slavery!
Support the ending of the exception by signing our petition to #endslaveryinGA and by supporting the NATIONAL campaign efforts at https://endtheexception.com/
Hollywood Premier of Waleisah Wilson's "Working in Captivity: A Woman’s Quest to End Slavery in GA"
"Working in Captivity: A Woman’s Quest to End Slavery in GA", is a short documentary produced by AOUON GA chapter lead and activist, Waleisah Wilson, with the support of Represent Justice and Qii Films.
The film premiered in Georgia at Georgia's Justice Day events held on March 8, 2023 and again in Hollywood on March 29, 2023 with Represent Justice. The film offers candid interviews and conversations with activists, citizens and community leaders (most of whom are formerly incarcerated and were subjected to slavery while incarcerated), throughougt Georgia and Alabama on the issue of modern day slavery, our country's dependency on it, the massive profit the state and businesses make from slavery, how slavery harms communities, stifles economic growth, contributes to unemployment, makes communities less safe and why Georgia needs to take a stand to end such a racist and exploitive practice!
Hollywood Premier of Page Duke's "Until We All Count"
Until We All Count (featuring ATL activist, Kareemah Hanifa and others), premiered in Hollywood on 3/29/23. Until We All Count is a short film about felony voter disenfranchisement in Georgia and highlights the work and advocacy of Georgis activists fighting to win back voting rights for themselves and others and to push back against "reforms" and laws that reinforce disenfranchisement and inequality.
Tabatha Trammell Chosen as 2023 Represent Justice Ambassador
Tabatha, the founder of Woman With a Plan (a GA nonprofit that mentors and supports women returning home from incarceration), was one of 10 activists chosen in a nationwide search to be a part of a cohort focused on allowing justice impacted activists to turn their stories into action via the creative arts. We look forward to supporting Tabatha on her journey and like Waleisah and Page, both of whom are 2022 Represent Justice Ambassadors, we also look forward to Tabatha's final film project.
Luci Harrell Chosen As 2022 Soros Justice Fellow
Luci Harrell was among dozens of activists and allies chosen as one of Open Society's 2022 Soros Justice Fellows. Through her project, "ATL Community Support Project". Luci will work to dismantle policing programs that exacerbate the homelessness crisis in Atlanta.
A Georgia-born activist, artist, and writer, Luci is the outreach coordinator and new media consultant at Inquest. Previously, she was at the Policing Alternatives & Diversion Initiative (PAD) in Atlanta, where she provided legal navigation and courtroom support. She holds a BA in journalism from Georgia State University, a master's in mass communication from South Dakota State University, and currently is a JD candidate at Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School. She spent nine years in prison, and believes the work of abolishing criminal systems and restoring social equity requires those who have been criminalized to enter and transform the legal profession. Harrell is a student member of the National Justice Impact Bar Association, and a 2021–2022 Pipeline to Practice foundation fellow.
We look forward to supporting Luci in her project and her endeavors to abolish oppressive criminal legal systems!
