Disproportionate felons amongst Black And Latino Americans

Stop the onslaught of rush to judgement of charging Black & Latino Americans as felons that strips away their Rights.

Why is this important?

Many people in America should be outraged with humane concern about the disproportionate amount of Blacks and Latinos locked up in prisons that are charged as felons which strips them of their right to vote, employment and housing.

People should care about this issue because many of those Blacks and Latinos have not committed the crime they have been charged with and they will not get the help they need to prove otherwise, simply because they have been labeled with the ugly and disgraceful word, felon.

There are many Black and Latino Mothers crying silently in the night against this injustice that is both current and prevalent in our contemporary society. If there is a compassionate conscience in America, this petition can help further investigation, hence provide insight and bring about a change within the prison system and the arresting officers who are so quick to wrongfully charge any Black or Latino American, be it male or female.
