Police Chief Steven Krokoff and about a dozen police officers (nearly all of them white), a dozen ACPAC members (a mix of white and black), and scores of community members (predominantly black) met to discuss police/community relations. Less than seventy-two hours before the meeting, a jury in Florida had pronounced George Zimmerman, a white man, “not guilty” of any crimes despite the fact that he had admittedly shot and killed an unarmed, seventeen-year-old African American boy, Trayvon Martin, as he walked home from 7Eleven. After the verdict was announced late Saturday night, disbelief and despair and anger gripped those who yearned to believe that the nation had entered a “post-racial” period with the election of the first African American president in 2008.

    Center for Law and Justice ______________________________________________________________________________________ Annual Report 2014 Mailing Address: Pine West Plaza, Building 2 Washington Avenue Extension Albany, NY 12205 Telephone: 518.427.8361 Fax: 518.427.8362 Physical Address: 153 South Pearl St. Albany, NY 12202 Email: [email protected] Website: www.cflj.org Facebook: www.facebook/CFLJAlbany Mission The Center for Law and Justice envisions a peaceful, just, and compassionate community that provides each resident with equal access to the goods, services, and opportunities of that community. It also seeks the fair and just treatment of all people throughout the civil and criminal justice systems, and works to reduce reliance upon incarceration. Why Our Work Is Important The Center’s emblem features the words of Frederick Douglas: “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” It is these words that our organization seeks to emulate in the work we do. Historically, the poor and racial and ethnic minority groups have been harmed by discriminatory treatment and a structural system that denies them equal access to resources. The Center for Law and Justice demands systemic change through education, advocacy, and legislation. We seek to ensure that every community receives equal goods and services regardless of minority status. From the Desk of the Executive Director As you review our 2014 Annual Report, you will notice that the Center remained active and deeply involved with many of the most pressing civil and human rights issues that affect the Capital District Region. Much time was devoted to our campaign to encourage the Governor of the State of New York to engage our state in a thorough review of criminal justice policy, particularly mass incarceration.
