Hi John,
Early voting has begun and I hope that each one of you have started to partake. If not the last day to early vote is next Friday, October 29th. Election Day is Tuesday, November 2nd. Remember, NO WAY on PROP A!
TAJ will present about NO WAY on PROP A: how the propositions fear mongering tactics are dangerously harmful to our communities equity and economy. Pouring thousands of more funds into APD's already racially institutionaled culture will only increase the racial disparaties among black & brown bodies. We will dive more into No Way Prop A and discuss updates on the third legislative session.
Join us in a safe space with fellow advocates at our next monthly meeting Wednesday, October 27th at 6pm. Sign up below if you plan to attend.
Please don’t forget to tell a friend or stranger about us, bring a friend or neighbor to the zoom meeting and we look forward to seeing you Wednesday at 6pm.
Do you or someone you know have an open case in Travis or Willamson county?
Participatory Defense is a program for us to walk alongside members of the community and support them as they navigate systems of power. We at Grassroots Leadership & Texas Advocates for Justice are not service providers per se. We do, however, provide a safe and nurturing space where we can combine the teachings of the participatory defense model and the knowledge drawn from our lived experiences in pursuit of the most desirable outcome. If you or someone you know could use an advocate and help in navigating the criminal justice system please complete the form or email [email protected].
