ENJAN regional gathering
Dear Friends,
Save the date! On Saturday, September 15th we will come together, for the third time, as groups inspired by Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. At this regional gathering, we will have an opportunity to build our connections, discuss key issues, and think together about how we might support each other's efforts into the future. Some new groups that have formed this year will be introduced as well.
The event will kick off at 10:30 am and end at 4 pm. There will be a potluck lunch during the event. There will be more information to follow.
The location is at the Christ the King Episcopal Church in Stone Ridge located at 3021 NY-213, Stone Ridge, NY 12484 (The church where we held the event the last two summers).
Thanks!

Fabian Marshall suing City of Kingston
KINGSTON, N.Y. >> A city man who was tased and arrested in a September 2015 incident is suing the two Kingston police officers involved, alleging they violated his constitutional rights.
Fabian Marshall, 27, alleged in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Northern District of New York, that he was subjected to excessive force by the officers, which caused him physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost wages.
The suit names Kingston police officers Jeremy Arciello and Michael Mills as defendants and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
According to the lawsuit, Marshall was waiting on Broadway at approximately 10:30 a.m., Sept. 4, 2015, for his aunt to give him a ride to work. At that time, Marshall was approached by Arciello while police officers were trying to find a “short, bald, middle-aged, light-skinned African American man” who allegedly had pushed an elderly rider off his bicycle near Broadway, the suit said.
