SUMMARY:Racial Justice Speaker Series:  Brandon McKoy
DESCRIPTION:“America Will Be: Fulfilling our Nation’s Promise Through Targeted & Equitable Policy” \nCome hear New Jersey Policy Perspective’s President Brandon McKoy explain the impact of centuries of racism on federal\, state and local policy. This legacy racism has created implicit and explicit bias in our government policy and programs that keep many people vulnerable and disengaged. We have the opportunity to change the paradigm through government policy and budgeting that support equity and inclusion for all. This program is sponsored by the Racial Justice Ministry of UUCWC and is open to the public.

SUMMARY:“Value to the Soul: Voting Rights as a Human Right”      Ron Pierce\, NJ Institute for Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 8:45 am for coffee/tea and bagels. Dialogs begin at 9 am.\nOur Dialog series provides a forum for intellectual pursuit and rational thought as integral to our spiritual journeys at UUCMC. We welcome suggestions for speakers and topics. The series runs from October through May. \nThe right to vote preserves all other rights; it protects from a tyrannical system of government. Generationally silencing communities of color with a variety of techniques has led to segregated schools\, segregated housing\, segregated neighborhoods and segregated houses of worship. If we take away peoples’ voices\, we remove their ability to be productive and they become bargaining chips as they did in the eighties and nineties as Get Tough on Crime rhetoric led to more oppressive laws with greater sanctions to gain a few extra votes\, at the expense of the human dignity of those we would not allow a voice. \nRon was incarcerated for 30 years. Through the NJ Step program\, he earned college credits\, and after parole\, received a Justice Studies degree from Rutgers. The New Jersey Institute for Social Justice employs him as the Democracy and Justice Fellow. He has a passion to help lower the recidivism rate by working to change policies that create barriers formerly incarcerated individuals encounter while trying to reenter society. He has written articles\, co-written a play\, and has spoken in many places.

SUMMARY:Salvation and Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:According to an analysis from NJ Advanced Media for 5 years of police use-of-force data from every department in the State\, Black people were three times more likely to be punched\, kicked\, pepper sprayed\, struck with a baton and attacked by a dog in police use-of-force situations and more than twice as likely to be shot.  Very few departments analyze racial profiling.  Of more than 4\,600 uses of force against people under the age of 18\, slightly more than half the subjects were Black\, though they represent only 14.5% of the child population in New Jersey. \n \nWe must break the cycle of violence inflicted upon our communities by: \n\nImplementing community oversight of local police departments;\nUnifying reporting standards and systems; requiring culturally competent implicit bias and psychological analysis and de-escalation training\, and expanding auditing measures to ensure the training is effectively implemented;\nRemoving officers who violate the civil rights of African Americans or demonstrate bias;\nMandating in-car and body-worn cameras—in conjunction with effective policies\, training\, and implementation—and the public release of footage;\nRequiring a five-year residency requirement for all law enforcement;\nDeveloping a truth and reconciliation process to faithfully deal with the history and evidence of abuse.\n\nTogether we can transform this situation!  These are all Joint Hearings Black Legislators\, Clergy and Community Leaders and the hearings will be sed as an opportunity to hear from victims as well as organize communities in how to access the data\, build an accountability commission and hold local law enforcement responsible for problematic issues.

SUMMARY:Overdose Prevention Centers Conference
DESCRIPTION:Drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death nationally and in New Jersey\, with more than 3\,000 New Jersey residents dying from overdose each year. Many of these deaths are preventable and as you know\, DPA works to promote policies that will help save lives through our Overdose Prevention Campaign. DPA will be launching a campaign in support of legislation (Senate Bill 3293 / Assembly Bill 4638) to establish overdose prevention centers (also known as safe consumption spaces) in response to the devastating loss of life. \nOverdose prevention centers are locations where people can legally consume previously purchased drugs under the supervision of trained staff.  The staff are able to provide immediate assistance in the case of an overdose and connect people to drug treatment\, medical care\, social services and harm reduction services.  Fear of arrest and prosecution\, as well as the stigma attached to drug use\, force people to hide their drug use or use drugs in unsafe conditions.  If these barriers were removed\, countless lives could be saved. \nPlease mark your calendars and save-the-date as Drug Policy Alliance is hosting a conference at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) on Friday\, April 5th at 10:00 am.  Join us to learn from an expert panel of public health officials\, researchers\, legal experts\, and community leaders on innovations in overdose prevention.  The event will take place at TCNJ\, 2000 Pennington Road\, Ewing\, NJ 08628 in the School of Education Building #115. For more details\, please see the flyer below. \nAdmission\, lunch and CEUs are free\, but space is limited\, so please RSVP to reserve your spot!
