Support Mississippi's Movement in Harrison County
Mississippi family-
Please find out more about what these young people are doing in Mississippi and how you can support them.
Mr. Belafonte recently spoke at the Tougaloo Graduation and reminded all of us that we are responsible for our generation. What are we willing to do?
*****SAVE THESE DATES*****
JUNE 1, 2009 – 930 am Harrison County Board of Supervisors 1801 23rd Ave
JUNE 4, 2009 – Chairman of the House Juvenile Justice Committee, Rep. Banks, time and location TBD
We are asking Harrison County to:
CARE FOR THE CHILDREN
CANCEL THE CONTRACT and
COMMIT TO COMMUNITIES
Come lend your voice and your presence to this very important movement. Show the Board of Supervisors that we want to re-invest some of the $1.7 Million/year of taxpayer dollars into community-based alternatives for our young people—like your program; ensure that even children in confinement have access to quality health, mental health, educational and physical services; and ensure they are treated with the dignity we all deserve.
JUNE 1st & JUNE 4th : Please be there!
For more information, a copy of the complaint filed, or how to get involved, please contact Jed Oppenheim at 601.594.0848 or Christine Henderson at 601.559.7168
Thank You.

About
The Gathering’s Mission
The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.
Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
