Quest for Democracy
August 7, 2022 @ 8:00 am - August 8, 2022 @ 5:00 pm
Over the course of the last six years, Legal Services for Prisoners with Children / All of Us or None has organized Quest for Democracy to provide hundreds of directly and system-impacted people from dozens of diverse organizations access to democracy and the opportunity to advocate as experts about the devastating realities of the criminal justice system. By facilitating this direct access to our elected representatives via in-person or digital, we’re able to use our real-life expertise to draw Hi,attention to our humanity while supporting legislation that helps our families and communitis lead healthy lives.
This year, in order to ensure the safety of all of us and the communities we serve, LPSC/AOUON is organizing the first ever Hybrid (In-Person and Digital) Quest for Democracy (HQ4D). On August 8, 2022, we ask you to join in this fight and speak in your own voice during a rally and legislative lobbying day, where we will demand decision makers listen to and recognize our own stories and issues. With everyone’s participation, our collective voice and call to action will undoubtedly make this the biggest and loudest Quest for Democracy ever!
HQ4D 2022 will feature opportunities to speak directly to members of the state legislature about the bills and policies we believe are crucial to building a more equitable and just society. We will have robust discussions, live entertainment, and a digital megaphone to amplify our voices.
Here is the registration link for participation. Pleas fill this form out no later than July 5th, 2022: https://whova.com/portal/registration/quest1_202205/ . In addition, to ensure this year’s HQ4D is a success we would also like to ask for your support to contribute to the cost and or volunteer to assist set-up, clean-up, security or monitor, etc. on the day of the event.If you are interested in being part of this historic event, please respond promptly to this email, or respond to Errol Veron at errol@prisonerswithchildren.org no later than July 5, 2022.
