H.308 (Act 54, 2017) created the Racial Disparities in the Criminal and
Juvenile Justice System Advisory Panel. This legislation was put forward
and strongly supported by Justice For All, the Racial Justice Reform
Coalition (30 Vermont organizations) and the entire community.   Come out
and learn more about the law and provide input and recommendations on
implementation and next steps.  Because of you, the law exists.  It will
take your continued involvement to ensure that it is implemented
effectively.

We will announce other dates as they are finalized.

* Note:  Don’t miss the first Racial Disparities Advisory Panel meeting on
the 29th of August at 2:00 PM.  The meeting will be in room 10 at the State
House.

A Time for Reflection, Revival and Resistance*
*When:  Sunday September 3rd From 5:30 till 8:00 PM*
*Where: Unitarian Church in Montpelier*

This is the fourth installment of “The Gathering” series, by Repairers of
The Breach. The Poor People's Campaign tour is underway and we are growing
a movement. Come and prepare for action with us!

Live from Raleigh, North Carolina, the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II &
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove co-host this monthly program to equip communities
with resources for faithful reflection and public action on moral issues.
The Gathering includes an introduction to a moral issue, immersion in
freedom songs that inform how we engage the issue, an interview with folks
directly impacted by the issue, and a theological engagement with the issue
that names a specific call to moral action. September's issue is LIVING
WAGE in partnership with Fight For $15 on Sunday, Sept. 3.

You can learn more about the New Poor People's Campaign and this nation al
call for a moral revival here:
