Upcoming Meetings and Events
Civil Rights Forum Monthly Meeting
Sunday, October 15 from 4:00 to 5:00 pm - Greatest Grains, 1600 N Harrison, Davenport IA (map)
The regular monthly meeting will be October 14 (not the third Sunday since too many Forum members would have been gone). We are concentrating on immigration issues, including DACA and forming a community coalition to respond to ICE raids and encourage local sanctuary efforts. The PACG Board voted at the June 2018 meeting to join the QC Sanctuary Coalition.
We will also be discussing Drug Policy Reform, and how we want to tackle those issues from a Civil Rights approach. Contact Alta Price if you want to get involved in either immigration or drug policy reform.
