Local and National Hip Hop rallies around Chief Judge Laurie White as election approaches

NEW ORLEANS - Oct. 31, 2016 - PRLog -- Known for genuinely helping the disenfranchised of New Orleans' urban population, Judge White has experience in the areas of being a criminal defense attorney, prosecutor and Criminal Court Judge, eventually becoming Chief Criminal Judge, which gave her a platform where she could positively effect a difference. In 2010, Judge White created the Re-Entry Program that permeated Louisiana's state prisons, giving many inmates not only a second chance to get it right, but also one that gives them the tools needed to be able to effectively re-integrate into society. She is now running for the 4th Circuit Court of Appeal.

Judge White has received support from many in the Hip Hop community, including:

·         Actor Clifton Powell

·         Actor Jason Mitchell

·         RMR/0017^th artist BTY YoungN

·         G-Unit's Kidd Kidd

·         Bre-Z

·         Comedy Goon's Mario P

·         Rude Jude

·         Blip Da Flyermann

They recognize Judge White as a champion of justice and as an influential figure who has assisted countless individuals to reintegrate into society. She has also introduced actions and programs to reduce the rate of recidivism and to give people a second chance at a positive outcome at life. These celebrities from the Hip Hop community also realize without the benefit of someone like Judge White serving on the Court of Appeal, our youth and many from the inner city may not have the opportunity to prosper to their full potential. They understand that when the powers that be take part in sending the disenfranchised down the prison pipeline, it is nearly impossible for them to become productive citizens once released from incarceration and that in fact, they are most likely going to remain in the system for the rest of their lives, without proper and adequate intervention.

Judge White is #71 on the ballot.
