Awesome Foundation

 

We wanted to make everyone aware of an upcoming event.  Each month, Awesome Poughkeepsie, the City of Poughkeepsie chapter of Awesome Foundation gives out a $1000 grant to a City of Poughkeepsie community project each month.  These projects are selected by and funded by our neighbors!  On December 6th Awesome Poughkeepsie will be hosting an event to celebrate a successful three months of grant-giving in the City of Poughkeepsie and get the public in on choosing our next grantee!  The event will be held from 6:30 to 9:00 pm at Reason + Ruckus, 305 Main Street in Poughkeepsie.  The gathering is open to the public with cash bar and food available for purchase!  Votes will be $5 each!  See the attached flyer for details.

ENJAN is pleased to support any effort that helps to fund community projects that have social impact, particularly projects that may help keep community members from being negatively affected by the criminal justice system.  If you have a project idea or no others who have a project idea, Awesome Poughkeepsie is accepting applications now for the January grant.  Just visit their website:  awesomepoughkeepsie.com or send an email to: poughkeepsie@awesomefoundation.org.

Thank you.

Screening of the documentary "The Interview"

 Good Afternoon Fighters,

We would like to invite you to a screening of the documentary "The Interview" co-sponsored by RAPP (Releasing Aging People from Prisons), ENJAN (End the New Jim Crow Action Network), the UU of Poughkeepsie (Unitarian Universalist of Poughkeepsie) and the People's Campaign for Parole Justice. You can enjoy this impactful documentary and have some good conversations. This will also be a potluck and will give you a chance to prepare a dish you would like to share!

A little bit about the film: "The Interview" asks viewers to confront their feelings about justice and mercy while revealing the heavy toll our current legal system takes on incarcerated people and their families. You can take a look at the flyer for more information or email isispascuala@gmail.com.

This event will take place Tuesday 12/13 from 6pm-8pm at the Unitarian Universalist of Poughkeepsie (67 S. Randolph Ave. Poughkeepsie, NY 12601). There will be a panel discussion to take place after the showing! This Event is FREE and Open to the Public. Please reserve your spot here https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-interview-showing-tickets-474307736207 or email me at isispascuala@gmail.com to reserve your spot.
