Greetings Everyone,

Please see email below.  The National Director, Jennifer Warner has referred Laverne Jordan, Coordinator of Campaign For Judicial Correctness under the Law to me as the State Director to assist in getting MD/DC OFA Volunteer Leaders to help with this important issue on Gun Violence.

I responded to OFA Nationals request and sent an email to follow up with Laverne, who lives in Montgomery County, and called on National to partner wth OFA for this GVP event she is hosting in Washington, DC at 1629 K Street NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20006 on Saturday, November 7th from 4 pm until 6 pm.  Please see email below. Laverne has already established the event and expecting about 50-75 people.  At this time, she wants OFA partnership to get volunteers to help make this a successful event by:

1.  Checking in 50-75 participants of the event who will consist of Congressman Mike Thompson of California or his representative and Ward 8 constituents.

 2.  Taking control of the room where the event is held to make certain the event is organized and run well while Laverne hosts and educate participants about the event.

3.  Taking photos and or video with cameras.

4.  Sending Social Media messages such as tweeting, facebook, Instagram, etc.

At this time we don't need to help market the event  on CONNECT or MYBO because of space constraints for a certain number of people.  Laverne feels she has already gotten that number and over that number would be over the requirements to use the Suite available.

Once this event is implemented there will be further actions considered for the next event after evaluating this event for next steps.

I would like to have all of your participation for this GVP issue especially since Laverne has reached out to National OFA and National has referred us to take this event on for MD/DC State jurisdiction.  I am asking you to help make this a great event as a MD/DC Team for this very important issue.

If you can attend, try to bring someone else with you to help out.  Let's show what MD/DC can do when National OFA calls on us to make a difference with such important issue that Americans Care about.

I am expecting to have a show of hands from Maryland and DC Chapters to give Laverne a count of who will attend by Wednesday as well as what volunteers will do to make the event successful that she has asked of OFA.

I am counting on your support.  I still have laryngitis but not as bad.  At least you can hear me talk now but I still have to be careful with it or I can lose my voice again. 

I am asking all to please be specific about what you or all volunteers can do out of the asks Laverne mentioned.  I am sure there might be somethings she forgot to mention but I am sure our OFA Volunteer Leaders can deal with it.

Our DC Chapter Lead, Odette McDonald and One of our OFA State Special Projects Leaders, Rob Yochem, will help me coordinate this effort.  Odette can be reached on sodettemcdonald@gmail or 202-870-7355 and Rob can be reached on ryo...@gmail.com or 410-929-0762.  All information on volunteering should be sent to me so that I can communicate this to Laverne by Wednesday.  After I receive this information from you and pass on to Laverne, Odette and Rob will start coordinating from this point with all Volunteer Leaders and Laverne to make certain that everyone knows exactly what to do during the event based on what you have volunteered to do. 

I thank you all very much for your support and look forward to hearing from you all.  We are looking to try and get at least 15 people if not more to attend.  OFA National and I am counting on you because we can't make this event a success by ourselves.  We are all in this together.

Thanks so much again.

OFA MD/DC State Director

Jennifer, 

 Good afternoon. I received your Recap email on last nights conference call event. As you can see, the email was sent from you to you. Nevertheless, we have transferred all correspondence from Organizing for Action to our social action group. Therefore, please send all further emails and contact information to: judicialcorrect...@hotmail.com.

I'm a minority business woman in the District of Columbia. A generational native Washingtonian; and, a long time social activist in the District. I have owned and managed a small commercial real estate group here for the past 15 years.  

I was involved in President Obama's two term re-election campaigns. And, remain the coordinator of The Campaign for Judicial Correctness under the Law. The campaign was formed in 2005. It's goal was to create awareness and forge accountability for correct judicial practices in our D.C. Superior Court. We were able to get a couple of judges removed.  And, way in on a more selective judicial process.

I hold a Master's Degree in Legislative Affairs. And, intend this Spring to add a Jurist Doctorate to that credential. So that, while primarily having focused on a real estate practice.  l tend to allow myself to become involved in social issue that I feel, merit my involvement and concern. 

As discussed, we will scheduled the conference room at our downtown "K" St. N.W. office  for the Nov. 7th, 2015 community forum on gun violence prevention. We will connect with all eight District of Columbia Ward constituent service offices, to get people to attend. And, then hold their own forums in their neighborhoods and communities.

In closing, please forward your local chapter contact information to us as requested. As we would like to have their organizing assistance, with this event. And, intend to reach out to other local grassroots organizations for the event as well.

I found last nights conference call most effective, and well conducted. I was extremely inspired by the other call in organizers; their comments; commitment and, concerns.

Thanks so much for reaching out to us, for  this most important need to organize  effort.

Sincerely,

Laverne A. Jordan, Coordinator
