Dear people,
Here's a reminder (below) about the West Seattle Meaningful Movie this Saturday.
Mary Paterson, from the organization No New Jim Crow (based on Michelle Alexander's book,
The New Jim Crow) will be attending and will contribute to the discussion after the film.
Come early, at 6:30, if you’d like some snacks and to talk with neighbors.
(Just let me know if you’d rather not get these movie notices.)
Lisa

Has mass incarceration become the “new Jim Crow”? People of color are being targeted at significantly higher rates for stops, searches, arrests, prosecution, and harsher sentences. In this film, people on many sides of the criminal justice system explore a topic often walled off from public scrutiny.
