Welcome

The Call to Justice is a weekly call-in legal affairs broadcast hosted by Washington lawyer and legal scholar Amos Jones. Airing via the Roku platform to 750,000 WBGR Network subscribers globally, the program launched on Saturday October 7, 2023.

Join us live online weekly as we bring you news and analysis every Saturday between noon and 1 p.m. Eastern from our station's Washington, D.C.-area studios. The call-in lines usually will open at 12:35 p.m. at (301) 429-9247.  While our host refrains from dispensing any legal advice, he most certainly engages in legal analysis from the moral foundations of natural law, as animated by the statutes and common law as they now appear to operate generally across America. The viewers and former law-school students of Amos who insisted he accept the network's invitation for him to host his own program raved about the manner in which he makes "what's really going on" in courts and the law accessible to non-lawyers. 

Just the Beginning

To be sure, in the inaugural offering of "The Call to Justice," Amos focused on what the Supreme Court did the week of October 1, 2023, to effectively superimpose the disastrous rule of Dred Scott v. Sanford, an 1857 Supreme Court case in which an all-white panel of nine judges decreed that all white Americans could get away with doing anything they wanted to do to any Black American all across America. Judges and courts faithfully executed the law and subjugated Black Americans accordingly, reinforcing the bottom-caste status of African-Americans into the present.  The law was supposed to have been overridden by Constitutional amendments passed after the Civil War; however, the Supreme Court invalidated the effect of those protections as soon as the new civil rights statutes of the 1860s and 1870s made their way into litigation. Jim Crow became the common law, and the Ku Klux Klan was initialized in a white lawyer's law office. On October 7, 2023, Amos uncovered this history and, in plain English, explained to viewers how this judicial culture, along with rules of procedure, explain why court almost never seems to function for Black litigants demanding cash compensation or jobs from the whites who have cheated them. He offered strategies informed by the framework identified by eminent sociologist Dr. Doris Y. Wilkinson in her scholarly 1996 article "Integration Dilemmas in a Racist Culture." 

Ministry That Trafficks In Truth

Amos has committed The Call to Justice to serving as a collaborative outlet for the people whom all systems have failed. In the interest of public safety and public policy, he and his viewers together will expose evildoers, lift them in prayer, call them to repentence, and examine whether our public servants in government – especially specific judges and courts – have fostered solutions or exacerbated the problem.

Our Theme

“Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody
of thy viols. But let judgment run down as waters,
and righteousness as a mighty stream.”

— Amos 5:23-24 (KJV)

The Host

Educated at the Harvard Law School (J.D., 2006), Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism (M.S., 2003), and Emory University (B.A. in Political Science, cum laude, 2000), Host Amos Jones is a top-rated Washington, D.C.-based lawyer, professor, and ordained Baptist deacon who launched this global legal ministry to inform the masses of their civil and human rights. He has served as a journalist for six Pulitzer Prize-winning newspapers and has lectured as a Fulbright Scholar at Melbourne (Australia) and Academic Visitor to the Faculty of Law at Oxford (England).

Amos conceived The Call to Justice as a method to deliver efficient community service. Through interviews with noteworthy guests and significant call-in interaction with a live global audience, Amos seeks to inform viewers of how their nominal freedoms are treated by what he has called “high-level government workers holding lifetime patronage jobs who are 'The Law:' our 870 federal judges.” As a registered Independent with a 27-year record of accurate, published political predictions (including several election outcomes few could foresee), he pulls no punches in the continous battle to protect his people. He presents strategies by which all serious citizens can counteract oppression, espousing the traditions of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the liberator Harriet Tubman, and the enslaved but self-liberated Rev. Nat Turner, an underestimated African-American martyr. Amos's unapologetic awareness explains why The Call to Justice's motto is “Ministry That Trafficks In Truth.”
