An educational presentation from the ACLU of Massachusetts, in partnership with Decarcerate Western Mass. Learn more about the roles that MA Sheriff’s play and what decision-making powers the job holds. This program does not endorse any candidate and is presented for educational purposes only. Representatives from the ACLU will share the presentation and answer questions from attendees. Please register to receive a Zoom link to the program.
From the ACLU:
Sheriffs have the power to make our communities safer and more just for all—but most Massachusetts voters don’t even know who their sheriff is.
It’s time to change that. It’s time to Know Your Sheriff.
Know Your Sheriff is a public education campaign by the ACLU of Massachusetts to build voter awareness about the life-changing decisions that sheriffs make. Polling shows that many voters are not familiar with sheriffs—but when they learn more, they are more likely cast a ballot for sheriff in the next election. Knowing your sheriff means knowing that YOU have the power to demand safer communities and a more just criminal legal system.

The second in a virtual 3 part series, Saving Us! – Working Toward Climate Resilience (Part 3 on 10/17). Please register in advance, choosing the dates you would like to attend: https://tinyurl.com/cpw-saving-us
Presenter: Dr. Gary Yohe, PhD, Huffington Foundation Professor of Economics and Environmental Studies at Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT; Senior member, U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
This session will open a conversation about the limitations of what we know and don’t know about climate change, and how we can still make proactive decisions to “abate” or “adapt”. We will make it clear, though, that the third option will always be to “suffer” the consequences of inaction. Therefore, the emphasis of the discussion will be on organizing our thoughts about how to respond to the climate system and humanity. Ample time will be available for discussion and Q & A.

Presenters: Voices for Climate (V4C)
Join us for this final session of the series to brainstorm actions each of us can take to turn a looming crisis into a triumph of human ‘can do’ spirit. Through short videos and discussion we’ll explore some of the potential pathways that, individually and collectively, we can tackle the climate crisis head on. Attending the prior 2 sessions in this series is not required but definitely useful. All attendees are asked, in advance of this session, to watch this 7 minute video of David Attenborough’s Nov. ’21 speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6SO0xkr_uI
