About Me


ARWAR is a growing Arkansas based reform project focused on exploring human rights and civil liberty issues, and vocalizing concern when instances of injustice arise. Attacks against our civil liberties occur regularly and in a variety of areas. Failures in our criminal justice system, unjust legislation, corruption in leadership, and unequal treatment of entire segments of the population are all areas that call for citizen involvement. There is a dire need for momentous change in our state. This change is dependent on the efforts of each citizen. Be aware of injustice and react accordingly. Regardless of your age, race, gender, education level, or socioeconomic status, you too can work to create a better society with more choices and less fear. --- “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. What affects one directly affects all of us indirectly.” --Martin Luther King Jr.
Our goal is to use this site as a vehicle in creating a citizen alliance. By connecting various individuals with common ideals, and examining possible efforts and actions, we hope to perpetuate progress in reforming our state. ARWAR,org serves a network for those who wish to protest injustice and unfairness on a grassroots level. Although Arkansas based, contributions to our efforts are not limited to Arkansas residents and participation is nationwide. We hope to educate people with the facts on important issues and open minds that have been closed far too long.
FACTOR 8 THE ARKANSAS PRISON BLOOD SCANDAL -
For more than two decades, the Arkansas prison system profited from selling blood plasma from inmates infected with viral hepatitis and AIDS.
Thousands of unwitting victims who received transfusions of a product called Factor 8 made from this blood died as a result.
Factor 8 (The Movie) is one person’s search for answers. I warn you, much of what you’ll see will shock you. Factor 8 upsets the apple-cart, and may challenge your world view, and your views about leadership, government, and human nature. I know it did for me. - Kelly Duda
For more information about the movie, and the film maker and to view clips from the film, check out the following links.
