2015 Year of Action
The Center for Judicial Excellence (CJE) launched our 2015 Year of Action to Stop Court Crimes in California. Through the ongoing support of our members and colleagues, including our allies at the California Protective Parents Association, CJE organized a series of opportunities for court reform activists to don our red t-shirts, make our presence known, and advocate for judicial transparency and accountability at Judicial Council meetings, the Legislature and other court-sponsored hearings and events across California. Our goal was to spread our red t-shirts and bumper stickers across the state, to educate the masses about court corruption, and to become a presence whenever possible, in and around the state’s “judicial circles,” to ensure that our reform message can no longer be ignored. Think “Code Pink” for the judicial reform movement!
We started back in September 2014 with our Broken Branch Stop Court Crimes Rally and Action on Sept 19th, where we had more than 60 people turn out from 16 different California counties to protest the devastating impacts of our broken court system on the lives of law-abiding Californians. Then we brought a historic crowd of 26 speakers and more than 40 people to the Oct. 27-28 Judicial Council meetings, where we spoke frankly about the broken judicial branch to the powers that be. We’ve mobilized an average of 30 – 40 people to Sacramento in January and February to address the Judicial Council of California during their public comment session, and we plan to attend every single Judicial Council meeting in 2015 to ensure that our voices are heard.
