John –

The whole country is talking about policing, and the transformation of the entire justice system is urgently needed. But as Congress debates stimulus packages and other critical measures, we want to make sure an important voice is included: yours.

Today at 6:30 pm ET, Dream Corps #cut50 is hosting a think tank and strategy meeting on crucial federal reforms, including: justice, policing, and solutions to disparities in access to public transit and broadband internet. We're looking for input from our organizers, community leaders, those passionate about reform, and community members who are most impacted by these issues. 

Whether you've been closely following developments in Congress or merely can speak from your own experience with policing, the criminal justice system, or access disparities, we want to hear from you.

Could you join us today, July 23, at 6:30 pm ET – and help make federal reform a reality? RSVP now.

What: An opportunity to share YOUR strategic insight and join forces to pass critical legislation in Congress

Who: Dream Corps #cut50 staff – and you!

When: Today, July 23, 6:30 pm ET on Zoom

One of our fundamental beliefs at Dream Corps is that the people closest to the pain usually know the most about solutions – but are the furthest away from the key levers of power to create change. That is why we center the voices of people who have direct experience with environmental racism, poverty, and our broken criminal justice system. 

This call is all about making sure you are setting our direction and shaping how we approach members of Congress.

For instance, Congress is debating a federal Coronavirus stimulus package over the next few weeks. The House has also passed progressive policing reforms that will likely be negotiated in the Senate. When you listen to people directly impacted, you'll hear that the proposals on the table fall short in many essential ways. Today, Dream Corps #cut50 staff will be on hand to provide an update based on what we are hearing and then facilitate a community conversation to gather your input, priorities, and ideas.

Please RSVP now to join us today at 6:30 pm ET.

You don't need to be a policy expert to join in. Everyone who has experienced our broken system of policing, criminal justice, and beyond – and who is committed to emerging from this moment better than we were before – has immense wisdom that will help make real changes possible. 

Thank you for standing with us!
