This Juneteeth we are excited about new services by NDS in Wayne County!
DETROIT: Effective immediately, NDS will provide representation at no cost to Wayne County residents who believe they are going to be arrested or who have just been arrested. Call us at 313-474-3200.
“Juneteenth is meant to be a celebration of freedom, but too many of our neighbors are not free. This year in particular, Juneteenth is a call to action,” said Chantá Parker, Managing Director of NDS Detroit. “Black liberation is hampered by a racist criminal legal system that our team at NDS fights against every day. By launching Community Intake today, we recognize the need for a new tool to continue this work and serve the Black community of Detroit.”
It was great to see some of the public defenders from Neighborhood Defender Service of Detroit on the streets for their clients. We support NDS!
On Monday, Wayne County attorneys and peaceful protesters marched in solidarity from the federal courthouse to the Wayne County Jail and the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice. The Neighborhood Defender Service of Detroit led this charge.
We support NDS and hope you do too.
