OUR STATE IS DIVERSE.
WHY AREN’T OUR COURTS?

Delaware's judicial system is plagued by a lack of diversity. Right now, people of color, who represent nearly 40% of Delaware's population, make up just 15% of the judges who sit on the state's top courts, but comprise 62% of the state's incarcerated population. Because of a secretive, rigged process, Delaware's judicial nominations continue to promote the interests of an elite few at the expense of Delaware's diverse population. The time for systemic reform in Delaware’s judicial nomination process is now.

 
 
 
 

DIVERSE COURTS NOW!

In 230 years, there’s been just ONE Black Justice on the Chancery Court. The Governor of Delaware, John Carney, has the power to right this wrong.

But until he does, join CJF and our partners Martin Luther King III, Reverend Al Sharpton, and Pastor Blaine Hackett to urge Governor Carney to appoint a Black judge to the Delaware Chancery Court.

We need to #ChangeTheChancery.
