Urban/Suburban Solidarity Demonstration
Tuesday, February 14th, 2006
Gathering time: 10:30 AM
Park perimeter at Broad Street and Capitol Avenue
Hartford, CT
Procession to Capitol to hand deliver petitions
Why You Should Sign the Petition and Attend the Rally
The Task Force on Race, Class and Social Justice, in solidarity with the Men of Color Initiative, the Urban/Suburban Alliance and a number of other organizations are undertaking a petition drive to be presented to Governor M. Jodi Rell. This petition states the vital necessity for the State of Connecticut to actively engage with the City of Hartford, and all Connecticut Urban Cities, to eliminate the violence that plagues its residents as well as impacting all of us as citizens and neighbors throughout Connecticut.
This petition will be hand delivered to Governor Rell on February 14th when she meets in Hartford with the Mayors of 15 Connecticut cities to discuss solutions to the increased violence in the state's urban neighborhoods.
We fully support Mayor Perez's call to the Governor for shifting more state funds to preventive programs like after-school activities and job training instead of programs that deal with our young people after they get into trouble.
