This May 28 marks 19 years of Cornelius Jackson’s wrongful conviction — 19 years stolen from a Black teenager whose life was buried by a racist system and the lies of jailhouse informants. But this press conference is bigger than one case.
We’re demanding justice for all:
• Nico Redding, a 72-year-old elder, held 20 years past his release date, wheelchair-bound and forgotten.
• ICE detainees, denied due process and dignity.
• Palestinian prisoners, caged without trial.
• Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, wrongfully incarcerated or over-sentenced across Minnesota.
• Nico Redding, a 72-year-old elder, held 20 years past his release date, wheelchair-bound and forgotten.
• ICE detainees, denied due process and dignity.
• Palestinian prisoners, caged without trial.
• Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, wrongfully incarcerated or over-sentenced across Minnesota.
We’re calling out the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Governor Walz, and the Hennepin County Prosecutor’s Office for refusing to correct the harm caused by Amy Klobuchar and Mike Freeman.
We demand:
• Immediate release of Cornelius Jackson
• Freedom for Nico Redding and all elders
• Justice for the wrongfully incarcerated
• Human rights for ICE detainees & Palestinian prisoners
• True accountability for Minnesota’s racist prison system
• Immediate release of Cornelius Jackson
