Thank you for your on-going commitment to justice and fairness for all. I know many members of DCPAA are interested in alternatives to policing and police reform. And now is the time to speak up on these issues! The Dutchess County Police Reform Collaborative is having community forums starting on September 12th and ending on September29th. These forums will provide the public with an opportunity to share their opinions, experiences and to support reform or alternatives to policing. Now is the moment to transform policing as we know it. I would welcome the opportunity to work with members of the DCPPA to identify a list of demands and talking points for these forums. Your voice in these meetings will make a big difference. Please let me know if I can offer some support. You can contact me at swong@nyclu.org Together we can create change! |
Forums will be held via Zoom, will be two hours long, and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters will be available for the hearing impaired. Registration is required to participate; to sign-up for one of the forums, visit the new Police Reform & Modernization Website.
