Rev. Paula Maiorano attended Michelle Alexander’s recent appearance at Pendle Hill Quaker Conference Center, and a group of our local Coalition members gathered at First U to view one session that was live-streamed to a wider audience.  In case you missed the opportunity, you can watch it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTY2duIGzxs.  Michelle Alexander was interviewed by Daniel Hunter of Training for Change and J. Jondhi Harrell, Founder and Executive Director of The Center for Returning Citizens (TCRC) in Philadelphia.  

The Forum Committee is seeking additional sponsors and partners for the conference Hope, Opportunity and Racism: Breaking the Poverty to Prison Connection planned for November 14 at the Chase Center in Wilmington.  Please plan to attend!

Our next meeting will be June 1 at 6:00 pm at Hanover Presbyterian Church, 1801 N Jefferson St, Wilmington.  Please consider joining us. You may also contact Rev. Maiorano paulamaiorano32@gmail.com or Joan Priest at 610-869-9335 or joan@jpduua.org to learn more.
