TX 77009 \nMany Houstonians lack access to government-issued identification cards\, which creates barriers for folks without a permanent address to access local city services and apply for jobs\, for moms to volunteer at their kids’ schools\, for families to access critical medical care or open a bank account\, and for our neighbors to be able to identify themselves in interactions with the police. With a city ID\, all of us who are proud to call Houston home can be recognized as Houstonians\, regardless of immigration status\, homeless status\, income or age. \nCome and learn about an innovative program that decreases violent crime and increases public trust between police and community members. At the forum we will learn about the need in our community and about similar initiatives in place in New York City and North Carolina. Join us to learn how Houston can be the first city in Texas to honor all of its residents with IDs for ALL!\n——————————————————————————\nEl Proyecto de Organización de Texas (TOP ) le invita a participar en nuestro # ID4ALL reunión de estrategia . \nAprender como\nHablar en publico\,\nComunicarsa con la prensa\,\ny desarrollar un mensaje fuerte! \nEste será un ( TOP ) miembros único evento\nContacto: Constanza C Luo\n(832) 494-8406\ncluo@organizetexas.org \nJueves\, 11 de agosto 2016\n6PM – 8PM\nBiblioteca Carnegie\n1050 Quitman\nHouston.

SUMMARY:TOP Grand Jury Teach-In
DESCRIPTION:The Texas Organizing Project Criminal Justice Committee presents a teach-in on grand juries. \nA grand jury is a group of citizens that reviews criminal complaints and decides if there is enough evidence to issue an indictment (take the case to trial). \nLast month\, a grand jury in McKinney\, TX decided to not indict police officer Eric Casebolt on criminal charges after he was recorded on video body slamming a teenage girl in a bikini and pulling his gun on other teens at a pool party.  \nHarris County grand juries have cleared all officers of criminal wrongdoing between 2008-2012\, and more than a quarter of the 121 civilians shot by law enforcement were unarmed. \nCome and learn the facts about the selection process for grand juries and why it’s important for members of our communities to serve on them. \nAttorney Daryl Jordan Jr. will provide a presentation and answer questions. For more information please contact Brandon Morgan at (713) 677-3968\, bmorgan@organizetexas.org.

SUMMARY:Film Screening\, 'Don't Frack With Denton' and Community Story Sharing
DESCRIPTION:The documentary\, ‘Don’t Frack with Denton’ tells the story of our community fighting to defend our neighborhoods from fracking. Following the film there will be a short Q&A with the film makers.  \nThis film screening is part of a larger story-sharing collaboration and education effort with ‘Conversations from the Open Road’\, a citizen journalism group from Virginia. Their group has reached out to Frack Free Denton and other frontline communities facing environmental and social injustices. They are here to hear our stories of what it’s like to live with fracking in our backyards. For all who are willing\, there will be time set aside after the Q&A for story-sharing with their group.  \nWe invite you to come listen and share your stories of how fracking has affected your life and the ways in which you have resisted and organized for change in your community. To be clear\, this is neither a strategy meeting\, a debate\, or a technical explanation of the process of fracking. This is a time set aside to foster sharing and listening to one another’s experiences and to add to the understanding of the humanity within these struggles. Our community here has brought great tenacity\, creativity and perserverance to this issue. We hope you will come and share how you have been a part of this journey! \nFor a better understanding of the vibe of the night\, here is more about the group from Virginia’s philosophy in their words: \n* We believe that learning from and listening to people is the cornerstone of a compassionate understanding of our world.\n* Learning through Experience endures.\n * Social and digital media is the most engaging\, accessible\, and democratic medium to share knowledge – and we love it!\n * Traveling is Transformative\n* There is no single story\, to any person and place. We are not shaping a documentary\, but a collection of mixed-media shorts that reflect our experience of the complexity of a place and issue\n* We are NOT looking for answers\, but rather the humanity within every struggle and inspiration.\n* Being a Citizen requires empathy\, gained in knowledge and experience of the issues effecting our community.\n* Genuine Knowledge comes from probing the complexity within every issue.\n* Traveling\, creating and learning collaboratively is an electric experience\, and worth more than an individual pursuit.\n* It is time to be Content-Creators\, not just passive recipients of knowledge. \nYou can check out their website at: http://www.conversationsfromtheopenroad.com/ \nHope to see you there!

If you would be interested in helping start this group\, and especially if you are both a survivor and have experience working with peer survivors\, please feel free to drop by between 6pm and closing to help develop this effort. \nIF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TO OUR LOCATION: we are located on the second floor of a building with offices\, and the most prominent sign on the outside of the building is “Mercy Family Clinic\,” near the intersection of Illinois and Nicholson\, next to El Rancho supermarket. This link should take you directly to our building: https://goo.gl/maps/743SKeioaK12 \nIf you can’t find us\, PLEASE CALL 214-449-1439!
