UJP Activist: Rally and Lobby Day to Stop 3-Strikes Law
RALLY AND LOBBY DAY TO STOP 3-STRIKES LAW
============================================================
When: Thursday, March 15, 2012, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
Where: State House steps • 24 Beacon St. • Park St T • Boston
A statewide network of community organizations and supporters will be holding a
major demonstration and lobby day in opposition to the 3-strikes bill being
considered at the State House.
The rally will highlight a diverse group of speakers who will warn of the
economic and social consequences of these regressive criminal justice policies.
The Rally and speaking portion will run between 11-12pm. Between 12-1pm,
participants will visit the offices of legislators and deliver signed advocacy
cards.
The goal for the action is to show the breadth of opposition to the misguided
policies and add power and media attention to the resistance effort.
