WASHINGTON, DC (May 7, 2018) – The Justice Roundtable , a Washington-based coalition of over 100 justice organizations and advocates advancing federal criminal justice policy reforms, announces the launch of a six-month social media impact campaign, Vote for Justice.

 

The campaign will kick off with a May 9th event, Vote for Justice: An Evening of Empowerment with Artists and Activists at Washington DCs Newseum. The event will take audience members through a historic exploration of the different sectors where the criminal punishment system wreaks havoc; identify the generational, human and equity costs of mass incarceration; and offer solutions to reform our criminal justice system.

 

The event will be hosted by Tichina Arnold and Michael Eric Dyson .

11020652472?profile=original

 

Readings and testimonials will be performed by Senator Kamala Harris, Michael K. Williams, Congressman Cedric Richmond, Congressman Lacy Clay, State Attorney Kim Foxx, District Attorney Larry Krasner, Open Society Foundations President Patrick Gaspard, Mic Video Columnist Brittany Packnett, Shaun King, Desmond Meade, 11-year-old Naomi Wadler, Carmen Perez, Kemba Smith, Jamira Burley, Jessica Perez, Judith Browne Dianis, former NFL player Donté Stallworth, Charlene Carruthers, Udi Ofer and more.

The Vote for Justice campaign will bring art and culture together with education and civic engagement, encouraging the public to imagine what justice looks like in the months leading up to the midterm elections. At the same time, Vote for Justice will normalize progressive narratives on criminal justice system transformation by making the concept of justice personal and proximate to voters and potential voters.

 

The Vote for Justice campaign will highlight the overarching political, economic and human costs of our country’s criminal punishment system,” says Justice Roundtable Convener Nkechi Taifa . “The campaign will challenge celebrity, athlete and policy influencers to inspire and mobilize their fan bases to ‘vote for justice’ at the polls. We hope to lift up the work of advocates on the ground, who push back on a daily basis against policies and practices that have allowed mass incarceration to flourish.”

 

Following the Vote for Justice event, The Justice Roundtable will lead a public call to action for justice reform, titled #JusticeLooksLike. The action-oriented, social media challenge will lead up the 2018 midterm election. The nonpartisan Vote for Justice event and campaign will not endorse or support any particular candidate.

5 May, 2018 – ROOSEVELT’S CAFE 18+ EVENT SHUT DOWN AFTER FIGHTS BREAK OUT

 

A promoted Saturday night party at Roosevelt’s Café, 883 Whalley Avenue, once again got out of control. Officers who work in the district and who often patrol the otherwise tranquil Westvill Village neighborhood know the bar’s history. They’d positioned themselves nearby. The extra-duty officer assigned arrived and noticed the bar had allowed access to the liquor serving area to those that were under-age and that the side doors were left open and unattended. She felt the establishment was likely over capacity and notified her supervisor.

 

At 12:51 AM, Officers were alerted to several fights inside. Two bloodied patrons were located from two separate incidents. Ambulances were summoned and EMTs arrived with additional officers. Police brass shuit down the establishment. Patrons rushing from the venue were overheard saying the party was moving to Middletown Café. A short time later, fights broke out there, prompting another police response.

 

During the mass departure of rowdy patrons, one of the responding officers saw a woman trying to fight with a man near Roosevelt’s front door. Before they were able to engage one another, officers separated them. The woman was ordered to leave. She didn’t and armed herself with a canister of pepper-spray before charging back inside. The woman went inside and started fighting with Officer Caitlin Zerella. Another officer put the fighting woman on the ground and disarmed her. She was later identified at the department’s detention center as Shodennishya Shaquaya Little (8-9-1994), of 1623 Chapel Street in New Haven. She was charged with disorderly conduct, interfering with police, assault on a police officer, carrying a dangerous weapon and criminal trespassing in the first degree. Officer Zarella’s arm was injured by Little. They were photographed as evidence.

New Haven| In 1991, The New Haven Police Department partnered with The Yale Child Study Center to form the renowned Child Development-Community Policing Program.

In New Haven, mental health professionals are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and ride with officers on the second shift, to respond immediately to police calls involving child victims or witnesses to violence. Working together, police, mental health professionals, child protective service and other providers, coordinate multi-system interventions that re-establish safety, security and well-being in the immediate wake of violent events. CD-CP has served as a model for law enforcement-mental health partnerships around the world. This work also led to the development of the only evidence-based early family strengthening mental health treatment – the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention.

As pioneers in the collaboration between mental health professionals and police officers, both the YCSC and NHPD have hosted informative visits to police health care agencies for years. The collaboration between YCSC and NHPD led to the development of a national toolkit to enhance officer’s capacity to respond to children and families exposed to violence http://www.theiacp.org/Portals/0/documents/pdfs/CEVToolkitOnlineVersion.pdf

Beginning Tuesday, 1 May, 2018, visitors from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department in Missouri will be visiting New Haven to study the 

practices of the CDCP program. SLMPD members will be assigned to ride along with officers and clinicians on their tours of duty and participate in the multi-agency weekly meeting at the YCSC at the Yale School of Medicine.

PRESS EVENT

 

WHEN: Wednesday, 2 May at 10:30 AM

WHERE: Yale Child Study Center, 230 South Frontage Road, in the Senn Conference Room

WHAT: Program Meeting

WHO: YCSC mental health care professionals, NHPD rank & file officers and command staff and visitors from the SLMPD
