"Day Out? Day's Pay!"

on

airs: Sunday May 18 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday May 20 at 11:30pm

Workers at this Newark Airport Dunkin' Donuts will be eligible for paid sick leave for the first time, beginning this month

    

  

          

              

This Week on Due Process  

You make minimum wage, live from paycheck to paycheck. A day off means a day without pay. So what do you do when you're sick? It's a question none of us would want to face, and it may be less than fair. But is it up to the government to make it right?

That question - at the heart of a growing movement to force private employers to give sick leave with pay to ALL workers - is the focus of this week's edition of "Due Process."

New York City's on board, and so are Newark and Jersey City, whose new mandates may make a real difference for the working poor. We take to the streets and shops and even Newark airport to talk to workers and employers, while, in the studio, a heated debate features New Jersey Citizen Action Executive Director Phyllis Salowe-Kaye, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, and Jack Mozloom of the National Federation of Independent Business.

  

You'll want to join us!

   "Junius Williams: Unfinished Agenda"

on

airs: Sunday April 20 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday April 22 at 11:30pm

Junius Williams with his old friend and one-time mentor, Tom Hayden (Early 60's)

This Week on Due Process

His life mirrors the movements of the last half century.  From southern segregation and civil rights work in the South to organizing against inequality in the North; from the call to black power to the disappointment of electoral answers.

Junius Williams' new book "Unfinished Agenda: Urban Politics in the Era of Black Power," traces the American scene of the last half century through his own life story: in the Movement, in the law, in urban politics and in Newark - the city he came to organize ... and never left.

As you'll see in this edition of Due Process, it's a story so emblematic that the Smithsonian Institution invited Junius - and his onetime mentor, Tom Hayden - to share a personal and political history of the last 50 years.

It's a Due Process you won't want to miss.

New on NJTV - Scottsboro: Justice Delayed, Justice Denied

"Scottsboro: Justice Delayed, Justice Denied"

on

airs: Sunday February 9 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday February 11 at 11:30pm   

The Nine Scottsboro Defendants with their lawyer, Sam Leibowitz, in an Alabama Prison in 1931

  

This Week on Due Process  

It was one of countless cases of southern injustice.  Of black men falsely accused of raping white women.  Of lynchings, legal and otherwise.  Of innocent black defendants imprisoned - and worse.

On this week's edition of Due Process: the infamous case of The Scottsboro Boys, nine black teens, who, double-damned by Depression and Jim Crow, guilty of nothing more than riding the rails, found themselves sentenced to die.

Late last year, the State of Alabama issued posthumous pardons.  The Scottsboro Boys were finally exonerated - more than 80 years too late.

We look at how they were framed, how they were freed after long years in prison, and how players as varied as the Communist Party, the NAACP and the U.S. Supreme Court all did their part.

Helping us understand the Scottsboro tragedy - and how far we have - or have not - come since: Rutgers Law Professor Taja-Nia Henderson, an expert on race and incarceration, and Rutgers-Newark Historian James Goodman, author of the seminal work, "Stories of Scottsboro," a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

It's a Black History Month special you won't want to miss.  Please join us on NJTV this Sunday at 9:30 and 7, or Tuesday night at 11:30.

New on NJTV - Fugitive Safe Surrender

"Fugitive Safe Surrender"

on

airs: Sunday January 26 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday January 28 at 11:30pm  

One of more than a dozen makeshift courtrooms in the Jersey City Armory, processing nearly 5,000 low-level fugitives

  

This Week on Due Process 

You may not have committed a major crime, maybe not a crime at all. It could be a ticket unpaid, a child support payment unmade, but it's enough to trigger a warrant for arrest - and that puts you on the wrong side of the law.

Tens of thousands in New Jersey can't get a license or a job, because warrants show up on a background check. They are always looking over their shoulders, knowing any contact with police could see them arrested or jailed.

But five times in recent years, the state has created a rare opportunity to clear a record and put a life back on track. It's called Fugitive Safe Surrender and when it came to Jersey City, Due Process was there for an inside look at a unique opportunity for thousands to come out of the shadows.

Back in the studio, we go deeper with Rev. William Howard of Bethany Baptist Church in Newark, with Lori Scott-Pickens of the Rutgers School of Criminal Justice, and with Assistant Attorney General Wanda Moore.

We hope you'll join us!

Affirmative Action - Back on the Docket

This Week on Due Process 

This year's U.S. Supreme Court session is in full swing, with cases ranging from the constitutionality of prayer at public meetings to a test of presidential powers.

And while this high court docket may be drawing fewer headlines than last year's dramatic decisions on same sex marriage, we're keeping our eye on new cases involving abortion clinic protests, affirmative action in higher education and the coverage of contraception under Obamacare.

On this edition of Due Process: our annual Supreme Court update with national ACLU Legal Director Steve Shapiro.

We hope you'll join us!
