Speak-Out on Erie County Holding Center

December 17, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Free

On Zoom (Meeting ID: 843 4514 5004 and Passcode: 023625).

Please join us for an opportunity to share your lived experience and/or perspective on the Erie County Holding Center, and to hear from authorities. Superintendent – Jail Division, Thomas Diina will be attending, as will Miles Gresham, Esq., and Heron Simmonds, members of the Corrections Specialist Advisory Board. Heron, Racial Justice Taskforce Co-Chair, and other WNY Peace Center members, including its Racial Justice Taskforce and Prisoners’ Rights Taskforces, will also be involved. Other officials have also been invited (attendance tbd). (This is a NEW DATE, after the session was postponed by one week from 12/10 to 12/17, at Sup. Diina’s request due to a family health emergency.)

Please come to tell your story and hear what current plans are. We’ll start with a Community Agreement to ensure we have a productive conversation, in truth and love. Hope to ‘see’ you there, on Zoom.
