SUMMARY:EngageGCC Planning Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Next EngageGCC Is April 25!We’re building momentum around the May 7th Pretrial Justice Action. EngageGCC is an important platform for getting the word out. That means our April 25th EngageGCC takes on particular importance. \n\n\n\nWe will meet Thursday\, April 25th\, at 7pm  Lakewood Congregational Church\, 1375 W Clifton BoulevardLakewood OH \n\n\n\nNext Action: GCC’s Pre-Trial Justice Team is planning an action for May 7th at Olivet Institutional Baptist Church. \n\n\n\nThe 7pm action on May 7th will be in person and on Zoom.Turnout will be critically important. We want to send out a message of power to the community and its public officials! \n\n\n\nWhy are People in Jail Before Trial?Not for punishment because they have not been convicted. Most people are in jail before trial because:– They are too poor to pay bail.-They have mental health and/or addiction issues.-They were arrested for non-violent crimes. \n\n\n\nWhat’s wrong with jail before trial?-It violates the rule of law – the presumption of innocence and the constitution’s prohibition against excessive bail.-It harms individuals and their communities\, is costly\, and does not protect public safety. \n\n\n\nWhat are alternatives?-Providing pretrial services that:* Investigate and recommend alternatives to jail\, such as diversion and supervised release.* Ensure that people come to court for scheduled dates.* Help people to keep and/or get jobs\, housing\, families\, transportation\, and other resources.* Protect public safety because people are less likely to re-offend. \n\n\n\nWhy Should You Attend this Public Hearing?-You will hear how the pretrial process currently works in our County and learn research-based\, data-driven best practices for pretrial services and join other GCC and community members in publicly calling for a more just and effective pretrial system – to reduce jail before trial. You will learn how we can do better! Learn more here https://www.greaterclevelandcongregations.org/issues/pretrial-justice/; \n\n\n\nThank you!Your UUCC GCC Team
