ND ASK Organizing Strategy Session: Tuesday, 10/9
On Tuesday, October 9, Ms. Eunice Timoney-Ravenna will conduct an evening strategy session for student activists and organizers seeking to unite the campus and community on their respective social issues.
Ms. Timoney-Ravenna is the Midwest Field Organizer for Equal Justice USA "a grassroots project of the Quixote Center that mobilizes and educates ordinary citizens around issues of crime and punishment in the U.S."
Equal Justice USA kicked off the Moratorium Now! campaign in August 1997, shortly after the American Bar Association passed a resolution calling for a moratorium on all U.S. executions. The campaign seeks to build momentum for a national moratorium by mobilizing local groups to adopt their own resolutions and to recruit others in their area to join the call.
Through the Moratorium Now! campaign, over 4,000 groups, faith communities, and local governments endorse a moratorium on executions.
Further details on the October 9 strategy session will be posted soon.
