o Visitation training –
§ No one was able to make the Nov 16 training, but are looking into the next quarterly training. Arnie shared how great it is and encouraged us to attend. He also suggested that we talk with Sarah J about her thoughts on contact visits and whether that is something that we should consider advocating for. (sjac...@casadepazcolorado.org) After we catch up with her, perhaps we would look to see if anyone else has run a similar campaign for contact visits in other parts of the country.
§ Kathy would like at ask Sarah J if there is anything that Casa de Paz needs and we could ask people to bring the vigil, etc. (sjac...@casadepazcolorado.org)
· Consider an expose and close action at GEO

Heard this piece on NPR this morning on my way in and thought others might be interested - http://www.npr.org/2013/11/19/245968601/little-known-immigration-mandate-keeps-detention-beds-full.
Part of the #ExposeandClose campaign, along the same lines of the #Not1More/#Ni1Mas campaign, there is a week of action planned around the release of this report at different detention centers (especially the 10 most offensive).
