Civil Rights Forum Monthly Meeting via Zoom - Monday, June 8th at 5:00 pm
Civil Rights Forum
The Civil Rights Forum continues to work on immigration issues, including keeping immigrant workers safe during the COVID-19 crisis and supporting them during the economic downturn.
We also work on juvenile justice reform, including providing education to juveniles who end up in the adult county jail, and supporting efforts to develop a juvenile assessment center.
A new effort, to be headed by Pat Peacock, will be to restore voting rights to ex-felons in Iowa. Iowa is the only state that disenfranchises felons for life, making it almost impossible for these citizens to regain their right to vote.
Contact Alta Price for a Zoom invitation to this meeting or to learn more about any of these projects
