- 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, specifically Bettendorf. We talked to a member 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? If you live in Bettendorf and are a member of PACG, NAACP, LULAC, or Quad Cities Interfaith, come and help! Read this article from the Iowa ACLU about statewide efforts to end racial profiling in Iowa.
- Juvenile Justice restorative justice volunteer speakers bureau to educate the community about the Auto Theft Accountability Project
