Friends,
Here’s something concrete, useful, and simple we each can do locally on the issue of reimagining public safety in the wake of George Floyd’s murder: Let the Dutchess County Legislators and County Executive Molinaro know that we, the taxpayers, don't want or need a new jail.
The money for its cost was not justifiable to begin with. Now with repercussions of the COVID pandemic and the call for defunding the police, this money can be used to pay for community needs.
Making your voice heard here ranges from “quick and easy” to “more effective”. Please consider adding your voice either way or both! And, please share with a couple friends.
Best regards,
Dutchess County Progressive Action Alliance (DCPAA)
Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson (NLMH)
E.N.J.A.N. (End the New Jim Crow Action Network)
Quick and Easy: Add your name to the letter shown below as an individual or as an organization by July 8 to be sent to our Dutchess County legislators by clicking on the link here:
More effective: Write your own email or letter, (or copy and paste this one), and send it to your County Legislator and County Executive by July 9th.
