A
time comes when silence is betrayal…. Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found
that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate
to our limited vision, but we must speak.—Martin
Luther King Jr.
Occupy the Theodore Roosevelt Building Monday December 19th* Put a stop to Legislation to Dismantle County Human & Civil Rights
Agencies// Demand the County implement the Charter laws mandating a Visitor Board to oversee the County jail!
***********************************
Stop County Executive Mangano's Dissolution of County Human & Civil Right Agencies Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and the County Legislature are planning to vote
- Monday, December 19th at 10am- on merging minority servicing agencies, under the guise of saving money. The proposal
to consolidate the Nassau County Human Rights Commission, CASA and the Office of Minority Affairs into an Office for
New Opportunity is an affront to the communities served by these three County Departments. By law they are separate and
distinct so that they may focus on their respective missions of investigating bias and discrimination complaints, violations
of human and civil rights and delivering critical social services to their unique constituencies. Support Dr. King's legacy!
Mr. Mangano- Empower these agencies!*******************************************************************************************************************
The elimination of human & civil rights agencies
is not about saving money. While hundreds of Health and social service workers are being fired, the County Legislature
passed County Executive Mangano's confiscatory bill awarding 5 million dollars to Morgan Stanley to conduct a fiscal review!
As County employees are fired, the tentacles of big business swoop down and suck up their salaries! In these
tough economic times, doing something to deliver less services to the neediest communities in Nassau County is unconscionable.
Now is the time! Contact your legislator. ********************************************************************************************************************* SUPPORT THE COUNTY CHARTER VISITOR BOARD TO OVERSEE THE COUNTY JAIL! We urge all people of conscience to
rally at the Theodore Roosevelt County Building Legislative Chambers on Franklin and Old Country Road in Mineola on Monday,
December 19th at 10 am and demand that the County Executive and the County Legislators honor their oath of office
and obey the law as mandated by the County Charter and implement the Visitor Board. Click the link above and sign the
petition that the County Charter provisions for a Visitor Board to oversee the county jail be immediately implemented. Contact
your legislator and demand that that he or she put a stop to County Executive Mangano's proposal to gut and dismantle
the County's Human and Civil Rights agencies. www.nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/Legis/index.html PLEASE FORWARD
THIS Appeal to your EMAIL DATABASE.
