Who in the world do you think they're reaching out to? Who would be hanging around the places they're leafleting? They're getting in touch with people most at risk of going to jail or prison and the families of those already in. Who else hangs around courthouses, jails, and prisons?
And you leave out the next sentence about giving talks and workshops at schools, universities, churches, clubs and getting on the radio.
You really have no idea what these groups are doing. The knee-jerk reaction you display here is just the sort of thing you accuse the leftist phantoms you're always conjuring up of doing.
