Civil Rights Forum Monthly Meeting - Sunday, June 23rd at 4:00 pm
Greatest Grains
1600 N Harrison, Davenport IA (map)

Join the Civil Rights Forum for our monthly meeting from 4 - 5 pm at Greatest Grains. We will discuss:
  • Our guided discussions of Race: Are We So Different? at the Putnam Museum raised our awareness of racial profiling by law enforcement in the Quad Cities. We will talk to members of D-CAP (Davenport Citizens Advisory Panel), which has been addressing racial profiling in Davenport for many years. Can we expand those efforts to Bettendorf, Rock Island, and Moline?
  • Juvenile Justice restorative justice volunteer recruitment/training
  • Immigration/sanctuary coalition work

Contact Alta Price to learn more or to get involved.
