Special Cops and LEAP Edition of Civil Disobedience

"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so."
~Thomas Jefferson

Combining music, law, and politics, Civil Disobedience Radio hopes to mobilize citizens for peaceful civil disobedience in the face of widespread government abuse.  While the show initially began with a focus on challenging  the criminal prohibition of cannabis, seeking to restore it to its rightful place as medicine, remove it from the criminal justice system, and create economic development and new industry from the hemp fiber,  recent events both nationally and in North Carolina have caused Civil Disobedience Radio to expand its scope.  The increasingly dangerous police state, and attacks on basic services, such as education and community welfare are the civil rights issues of our time.   

Inspired by the political essay of the same name by Henry David Thoreau, this is one of those times in history where law is wrong, government continues to abuse and imprison its citizens, and both must be opposed as our duty as citizens, lest we be responsible.

Host, Jen Foster is an outspoken, often hilarious, attorney, writer, educator, and musician. She specifically seeks to mobilize the music community for grassroots education and activation; thus, one of the main focuses on the show will be sharing the views of national and local musicians, allowing them to use their platform to affect social change. Legal musings, education, music, mobilization and even mayhem!

Jennifer holds a JD with Honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has enjoyed an esteemed legal career as a federal appellate law clerk, an appellate public defender, death penalty activist, criminal and immigration expert, pro bono coordinator for legal aid and private settlement and holistic healing attorney in North Carolina, Georgia and California. Jennifer left the ranks of traditional legal practice in 2010 to form NC NORML and end cannabis and hemp prohibition as an urgent priority for economic development, as well as health, safety and welfare.

Jennifer decided to launch Civil Disobedience Radio after traditional lobbying regarding cannabis as medicine and industrial hemp development yielded laughter. The urgency for direct action is apparent in this depressed economy and increasingly militarized police state. Popular Mechanics called hemp in 1938 the new “billion-dollar crop:” building materials, textiles, ropes and fibers, nutritional products, and even fuel.

We can’t wait around hoping for change any longer. We have to make it happen. And we will. 

“HEMP HEMP HOORAY!”
