RESTORATIVE PRACTICES:
A SUCCESSFUL APPROACH TO REDUCE DELINQUENCY
 
The recent removal of State Attorney Monique Worrell in Orlando and Osceola, who is a proponent of restorative practices, could have impacts on the use of those practices in the juvenile justice system. The Juvenile Justice committee is concerned about this. Join the JJC meeting on September 29, Finemark Bank, 10 am to learn about restorative practices in our community. RSVP to Libbie Bramson by September 22.

UPDATE ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AMENDMENT PETITIONS

Good news! There are now enough petitions verified to qualify for a Florida Supreme Court review. This is a huge milestone for the campaign, which has more than a third of the necessary petitions validated, putting the amendment to allow abortion access in Florida a step closer to qualifying for the 2024 ballot. We are not there yet, so please continue to collect signed petitions from people registered to vote in Florida. Many thanks for all your help! Visit Floridians Protecting Freedom for information about the campaign or contact Janet Hoffman.
