OccupyShoreLine Lecture/discussion series Sunday 5/6 in Branford
Equal Justice Under the Law:
Do We Still Honor the American Dream?
Sponsored by the
League of Women Voters of East Shore
in collaboration with the lecture series
“Money, Power, and Politics.”
Politicians argue about regulation vs. liberty
but rarely address voters’ concerns about justice and morality.
The audience will discuss and debate how well or poorly
state and federal law enforcement keep
the Founders’ promise of equal justice for all.
Excerpts from the following will be discussed by the audience:
· Graham Greene: “Our Man in Havana” (1958 novel)
· Glenn Greenwald: “With Liberty and Justice for Some”
· Joe Nocera, NY Times Op-Ed: Could We Reduce Serious Financial Crime by Jailing Culpable CEO’s?
· Michelle Alexander: “The New Jim Crow” – How the Failed War on Drugs has kept 30% of Young Black Men from Voting.
· Matt Baitti: “Grift-opia” How Middle Class Social Security Taxes Have Been Used to Reduce Top Bracket Income Taxes
