Happy New Year from the BPCDear Family, Friends and Community Members: We would like to thank all of you for all of your wonderful love and support which you have continued to show our organization and its members over the years. Your support and love has inspired our ideas, and propelled us towards more programs and better resources. You have encouraged our presence in the community which has resulted in community forums and family summits. You have helped our voices to be heard and the awareness of our communities to be raised on many different levels and for that we are truly grateful. As we enter this New Year with a new focus and vision, we are determined to be more organized and effective in our solution oriented approach towards education, employment, housing, health care, criminal justice, community support and stronger family ties. The focal point of the Black Prisoners’ Caucus is to change the conditions of poor people of color and our success will greatly depend on the support of our families and friends in the community. So this year we will be counting on everyone to play their part in making a difference for the betterment of our communities. It is our collective effort and energy that will produce the best results towards change. We must not forget that we must embrace the struggle so a clear path towards progress can reveal itself. We wish everyone a happy and productive New Year. Sincerely The Black Prisoners’ Caucus Justice Reform Summit 20107th Annual Justice Reform Summit
"Re-establishing an Ethical Approach towards Criminal Justice"
October 30th, 2010The Black Prisoners Caucus 7th Annual Justice Reform Summit at the Monroe Reformatory exceeded expectations with over 200 prisoners and community members in attendance. The theme "Re-Establishing an Ethical Approach Towards Criminal Justice" may have seemed like a far reach, but after the heart felt presentations; straight forward questions & answers, followed by an open and honest dialog it proved to be exactly what communities these days are missing. The Black Prisoners Caucus is committed to bettering the lives of men, women and children disenfranchised by the prison system, as well as the communities we are returning home to. All we ask in return is for communities to make the same commitment so a collective movement towards Building Positive Communities can begin. Thank you for your continued support! Family Summit Thank YouDear Family, Friends and Community Members: We would like to start by thanking everyone that showed up in full support to our family summit on August 14th. Your presence allowed our voices to be heard loud and clear on the issues crucial towards criminal justice reform. Collectively we seized the opportunity to speak with one voice, and we are well on our way to “Creating a Community Connection for Social Change”. It is important however that we understand this process takes time and it would be unfair for us all to assume that this change will happen overnight. But as long as the love for our family and passion for justice remains strong we will see this through. Until then we MUST continue to stay active, well informed and supportive of every effort towards Building Positive Communities because together we can make a difference and we thank you for your support. At this time, we would like to encourage all our family, friends and community members to register on the Family and Friends Network for Washington Prisoners so we may utilize this forum as a way to stay connected, informed, share resources and offer support to one another.
