Civil Rights Forum
Come to the Civil Rights Forum monthly meeting to help us take action on issues of immigration, racial justice, and juvenile justice.
PACG worked with the Juvenile Justice Coalition of the Quad Cities and other cosponsors to bring in Professor Kristen Henning, an expert on juvenile justice, for a Zoom webinar at noon on Tuesday, June 22nd. The insightful information provided will help us improve life for youth in our community dealing with racial trauma.
If you missed the webinar, watch a rebroadcast at 7 pm on July 1st. This Blog post has a registration link for the July 11st rebroadcast and information about a July 6th follow-up in-person meeting for those who attended the webinar or watched the rebroadcast. Contact me for other ways to get involved!
Newcomers are welcome. Other civil rights issues can be addressed if you have the time, energy, and passion to work on them.
Contact me or Julie Ross, our PACG Office Manager for the Zoom link. (I'll be in Switzerland the week before the meeting, so may not have access to email.)

Juvenile Justice Coalition Meeting via Zoom -
Friday, August 6th at 4:00 pm
Juvenile Justice Coalition of the Quad Cities
We discuss issues affecting youth in our community. With a move forward toward a new Juvenile Detention Center (jail) in Scott County, our work has become even more important. Join us to discuss this and our efforts to promote a Juvenile Assessment Center (distinct and separate from a juvenile jail).
Contact Michael Guster for the Zoom link.
