Janet Bosco and I are starting a new book read and action group at the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Center in Kingston on the corner of Wall and John St. The first meeting is this Sunday the 13th from 3-5. O'dell and Jeff have agreed to help us get started. Please get the word out to anyone who might be interested, new people who are just reading the book and people that have been involved and one to help get a new read and action group started. We have already met with representatives of both ENJAN and other activist groups who want to coordinate activities with us. The theme for the Center this year is Justice for All, and they mean all. Members of the Center and Everyone else are invited to join us.

Mini-Experiential Workshop on the Alternatives to Violence Project
Jim Peppler, a Quaker and member of End the New Jim Crow Action Network (ENJAN), is offering a free mini experiential AVP workshop for people in the Hudson Valley. Jim is a certified AVP counselor/facilitator with many years experience. Jim goes into Greene Correctional Facility where inmates inside and people from the outside attend and lead AVP workshops. If this mini experiential workshop generates sufficient interest, we can bring a weekend long workshop to the Hudson Valley, the Catskill region and/or the Albany region. Please spread the word to community groups.
