PA
Housing Team Commits to Helping with Evictions
If you have a few hours of time, consider a shift
at the Justice Center, 3rd floor as a part of the PA Navigators team.
Under the guidance of Angel Vick-Lewis and Lorisa Seibel you can
provide information and resources to your Durham neighbors who are
facing eviction. During your two hour shift you will:
1) Learn how to approach and guide someone coming to court
2) Help people find their way to the courtroom or to the Legal Aid
office
3) Offer to listen if someone wants to tell their story
Sign up for a your first shift here
and then check back for more shifts to come.
The PA Housing Team meets next on February
16th at 6:00pm.

budget
Register

Commissioners.
The next meeting is on February 21st at 8:00 p.m.
Register

Tyre
Nichols
Tyre Nichols should be alive today.
His brutal murder is yet another painful example of police brutality
in the United States, especially against communities of color. We
grieve for Tyre’s family, friends, and community. The circumstances
around his savage beating — an increase in aggressive policing tactics
in response to crime — are mirrored in communities across the U.S.
This could happen almost anywhere although Tyre Nichols was guilty of
no crime other than "driving while black."
