Hey don’t forget the Florida Cares family call tonight from 6:30-7:30 pm where we will talk about the recent Real Talk on Prison Reform workshop in Orlando that was covered by news media, recent legislative meetings, progress on proposed bills and lobby day. We would also like to hear from you about any programs or other things that have been going on at prisons around the state. To connect with us please call the conference line at (712) 451-0100 and dial access code 763754. You can also join the Facebook meeting group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1344969045611802/about/
And the moment many of you have been waiting for - lobby day flyers are here! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ji8BYRgoy12njDlEIZWWb2RJ36fUIk1j/view?usp=sharing
We need everyone to print some to hand out before visitation or to anyone you think might be interested in attending. We are at 75 people registered so far today, now that everyone has the flyers to hand out and talk up, lets see how big we can make this day. We want to really flood Tallahassee so that our legislators will hear our voices and those of the incarcerated.
