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!

SUMMARY:UUCMC's Earth Room Concerts presents "Deeper Than the Skin" with Reggie Harris and Greg Greenway
DESCRIPTION:For four decades\, singer-songwriter\, storyteller\, and activist Reggie Harris has brought African American spirituals\, folk\, gospel\, rock\, and the music of the civil rights movement to stages across America. Greg Greenway is a chart-topping folksinger with eight studio albums both as solo artist and as a member of the trio Brother Sun. \nReggie Harris and Greg Greenway have a unique story. Born three days apart\, ancestry flowing through the same portal of history\, Richmond\, Virginia\, they are on a pilgrimage together – one that began three decades ago. The racial divisions that are the reality of America started them in two different worlds\, but the amazing bonds of music\, respect\, admiration\, and shared vision have brought them together as friends and colleagues. \nReggie Harris is the Music Education Director of the Living Legacy Project of the UUA\, co-leading tours through the hallowed Civil Rights ground of the South. He is a Woodrow Wilson Scholar. Solo\, and in the duo\, Kim and Reggie Harris\, he has led hundreds of programs on Race and Social Justice. \nGreg Greenway was a part of the planning committee (at Reggie’s request) of Marching in the Arc of Justice\, the Unitarian Universalist conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Selma Voting Rights Action. He had the honor for two years of having his song\, “Rosa Parks”\, play when rosaparks.com was opened. Greg led his song\, “What Must Be Done”\, in the trio Brother Sun\, before thousands of UUs at the opening service of the Providence\, RI General Assembly. \nTogether and individually\, Reggie and Greg have brought the issue of Race before audiences all across North America. They share not only a story of overcoming\, but provide a living\, breathing example of celebration\, creative resistance\, and joy. There are many who say that they are the embodiment of those traits – that their talent and communication skills make their performance infectious. Both are committed professionally to inspiring people\, to encourage others to take that step beyond their comfort zone\, and as they reach across the racial divide\, to foster the relationships that are\, in the end\, a path to healing.
