The Camden Comeback welcomes Decarcerate the Garden State to Ferry Avenue

Library in Camden, New Jersey for a panel discussion. “The goal of this event is

to begin the process of linking Camden with Trenton, Jersey City, Paterson and

Newark so that we may be able to educate OUR residents on mass incarceration and

to submit a holistic plan of action as a grassroots movement with Decarcerate

the Garden State,” Gary C Frazier Jr (Founder of The Camden Comeback).

The keynote speaker of the event will be Dequi Kioni-Sadiki of the National

Jericho Movement. Dequi has been active in the struggles against police

violence, criminal justice, tuition hikes and women’s reproductive rights. She

is a former member of the Black Panther Collective. She served as national

co-chair of the People of African Descent Caucus for the Washington, DC based

United States Student Association. She currently works with the NYC Jericho

Movement in the campaign to free United States political prisoners and prisoners

of war.

National Jericho Movement locates political prisoners, compiling records on them

and building the case for amnesty; as well as, providing supportive services

such as to legal defense.

We will hear from a representative of Decarcerate the Garden State who will

speak about the proposed bill they are promoting: NJ Decarceration Act and their

ongoing efforts to organize community wide discussions on mass incarceration in

at least 30 cities across NJ.

In addition to Decarcerate the Garden State, some of Camden’s most dedicated

community activists including but not limited to Gary C. Frazier Jr, Founder &

Operator of The Camden Comeback, who educate, raise awareness and express a need

for CHANGE. The Camden Comeback is a Political Action Committee that was
