JD Features:
Join the Justice Denied Team
(All Positions with Justice: Denied are volunteer.)With the last letter I wrote the JD family has grown by 5 more wonderful people. I want to say right now that we are happy to have them and they are appreciated. The one thing that we all have at JD is dedication. Each one is dedicated to giving the innocent a chance to be heard. Each of us is dedicated to bringing about changes in the justice system. Some of us came to JD because we had loved ones wrongly convicted and we saw first-hand how our system of justice has failed. Others have come to JD because they saw a genuine need and wanted to help make a difference.
We are always in need of dedicated, caring and resourceful people to join our family. If you would like to join us to help the innocent that are languishing in our prisons contact me at: Jdcoordinate@aol.com.
Pamela EllerWe need someone who will submit our site to the various search engines and generally help promote JD on the Internet. Please write to JD-General-Corres@SBCglobal.net (C'Rene Dana) if you are interested in helping us in this very pivotal job.

This may include routing mail to the appropriate people (subscriptions, offers of help, receiving news material for JD SnapShots or other features and sending these to the Team for assignment), among other tasks, including formatting text. May also be dealing with legal volunteers and organizing them. Not a difficult job, but it is time-consuming. Contact C'Rene at JD-General-Corres@SBCglobal.net.
INTERVIEWER FOR NEW PEOPLE: Fortunately, we do receive many good offers, but we need a person to "interview" these people online. Your phone call expenses for phone interviews will be reimbursed by JD. Final decisions will be made by the Editor in Chief and the JD Team, but we need someone to correspond with potential volunteers who now go unanswered due to our lack of time.

Past experience is desirable, but not necessary. If editing skills are high, please apply. Please submit your resume to C'Rene at JD-General-Corres@SBCglobal.net
Political Watchdog Position: We need someone who understands the requirements for nonprofit organizations in regard to talking about politics. All you would need to do is review our edited material to make sure we don't cross the line when we mention people in office. Please write to C'Rene at JD-General-Corres@SBCglobal.net
FUND RAISERS: Now that we have incorporated as a non profit organization, we are ready to take all the next steps. You need not be a professional to raise money.Your good ideas and ability to speak with people will find an outlet with Justice: Denied. We have made some contacts, so you will not be completely on your own. If you have good organizational skills and high motivation to make a difference, you are our kind of team mate. Write to C'Rene JD-General-Corres@SBCglobal.net as the first step.
MEDIA LIAISON: Media Liaison person wanted for Justice Denied. Duties include sending press releases, contacting the media by both email and other means. Experience helpful, but good skills with people and resourcefulness will do as well. Write to C'ReneJD-General-Corres@SBCglobal.net and tell us about yourself.
Other Positions:
LEGAL HELP (Students welcome): We need lawyers, paralegals, and others who can donate some time to the cases we profile. We want to form a nationwide network to free innocent people from prison. Lawyers, senior law students, and other legally knowledgeable people are welcome. We are in contact with other organizations for innocent people and linking our efforts to theirs. If you know of others working in the same direction, please bring it to our attention. We have already begun a database of lawyers and paralegals to help with cases in several areas. We could also use an organizer in this area. Please contact C'ReneJD-General-Corres@SBCglobal.net to discuss joining us at whatever level your duties permit.
GRANT WRITERS (Amateurs welcome to try, too) We are now officially a non profit organization and can go after those grants we have only dreamed about until now. If you have experience in grant writing, please contact us. We will offer a percentage of moneys received. The money you find for Justice: Denied will fund the defense of people who claim to be innocent. If you are moved by the stories you read, help us find the funds to hire lawyers to argue these cases in court. Ironically, only the system that hurt these people can ultimately grant a status of innocent. Sheila, who acquired our first grant, is presently unable to continue this work, so we need someone to take up where she left off. If you want to write grants, email C'Rene at JD-General-Corres@SBCglobal.net Write Grants in the subject line.
ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY TO DISPLAY ON JUSTICE DENIED: Justice: Denied always needs photos/paintings/sketches/ water colors of prisons or prison settings. If you have any of these you would like to see gracing the pages of Justice: Denied, please let us see them. We also display Prisoner art of all kinds. Contact Stormy: JDWebmaster@juno.com
WRITE TO AN INMATE: The only qualification here is that you care. Choose from among the people we have profiled and help someone feel hope. Please write directly to the prisoner if the address is supplied. We will get those not presently on site for you. Please contact the staff at Justice: Denied for addresses. This is a self-starter task, and doesn't involve becoming part of the staff.
JOIN THE JUSTICE DENIED TEAM
We need people with all kinds of talent to join us in the endeavor of a lifetime. If we can help free innocent people, there is no greater reward than to have restored some goodness to a wounded life. For ALL positions: Please give us your phone number so we may call you to answer your questions, ask ours, and discuss your participation.
