Up Against the Law believes that no one, no matter the circumstances, should face the criminal justice system alone. It is a system based on dehumanization and isolation. We are fighting for a society based on mutual aid, solidarity, and restorative and transformative justice.
Last week Joshua Scott Albert turned himself in to the Philadelphia police, and is currently being held at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility. Regardless of any one’s personal opinion of him, or his past alleged actions, he is someone who deserves our solidarity as he traverses a brutal and terrifying system.
Up Against the Law urges all of us to support him.
Supporting him does not mean agreeing with him, or even liking him. It means recognizing that he is like millions of people in the United States, a lone individual facing a vast apparatus of state repression.
Up Against the Law’s mission is to provide solidarity so that we can face this inhuman system as a community, not as individuals. Fortunately he has pro bono legal representation.
