Put An End to the Proxy: It’s time for us to Select Our Own Judges

 

In our fight to put control of the Black communities back in the hands of the Black community, we must put an end to the proxy (real or synthetic) and elect Judicial Delegates who will select judges we wish to see on the bench. We have brought together a group of independent thinking community members to challenge the established order of the Queens County Democratic Machine’s control over Supreme Court Judge selector.
