VOTE FUNDRAISER THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 22ND, 2010!!
Join us this Friday, January 22nd for a special screening of "The Exonerated."
at Fair Grinds Coffee Shop- Upstairs (3133 Ponce de Leon)
at 7pm
The Anti-Racism Working Group in partnership with Voice of the Ex-Offender (V.O.T.E) will be screening The Exonerated, a movie based on the true stories of six different people who were wrongfully imprisoned and their experiences of exoneration. After the movie organizers from VOTE will be there to talk about their experiences of exoneration and the important work the VOTE does.
This movie night is a fund-raiser to support V.O.T.E., so we will be collecting donations however big or small. Everyone is welcome regardless of ability to donate, BRING YOUR FRIENDS!
V.O.T.E. is an organization dedicated to building the political power of people most impacted by the criminal justice system, especially formerly incarcerated persons (FIPs), their families and loved ones through voter registration, economic empowerment, legal education, community education, and leadership development.
