AFRICAN-AMERICAN JUVENILE JUSTICE PROJECT (AAJJP)
"For these are all of our children and we will either profit by, or pay for, whatever they become." - James Baldwin
Attorney Sherri Jefferson sends her condolences to the FAMILY OF GEORGIA COURT OF APPEALS JUDGE DEBRA BERNES. Sherri Jefferson is forever grateful to Judge Bernes for partaking in writing the dissenting opinion in In re Sherri Jefferson. Along with then Chief Judge Debra Barnes and current Chief Judge Yvette Miller, these "divas of justice" wrote a compelling dissenting opinion, which garnered much review and consideration by the Supreme Court in its decision to grant a Writ of Cert. May God's grace and mercy be with the family during this time.

Stay informed for dates, times and locations.
For Georgia Residents: Change here could bring change elsewhere.
CONTACT GOVERNOR PURDUE (link here) write him and request that he make changes that will improve the juvenile justice system in the State of Georgia especially for children detained in state youth prisons. State funding must be used to keep our children unified with their families and to provide parenting skills, and services to parents in need to stop child abuse and poverty. Everyone can get involved: community action groups, churches, fraternities and sororities, employee groups and social organizations.
Call Governor Perdue (404-656-1776)
and your state legislators to demand changes in Georgia's juvenile justice system. Organize your friends to do the same. (Telephone calls must be made during business hours.) Get a group of at least 8 - 12 people to call everyday, throughout the day. Be professional and courteous. But demand that the Governor bring about changes to the juvenile justice system. Be proactive!
