Mangano cuts youth funds

| NO justice, no peace! |
Thanks to the vigilence of the Nassau Affirmative Action
Project the vetting of Human Rights and Minority Affairs agencies by the Mangano Administration has been thwarted. Although
these County Agencies are bereft and deficient in terms of their mandates and indifferent to their duties and responsibilities
to safeguard the rights of minorities in Nassau County, they at least serve as a reminder of what America stands for. The
inexcusable lack of commitmant by those employed in these agencies to safeguard the rights of minorities, white,
black, hispanic or whatever, is a matter that cries to heaven and must be left to the consciences of those employees
who for their own purposes look the other way.
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.
***********************************
Stop County Executive Mangano's Dissolution of County Human & Civil Right Agencies Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano's proposal to consolidate the Nassau County Human Rights
Commission, CASA and the Office of Minority Affairs into an Office for New Local Opportunities 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 Mondays
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.
Sign this petition for a visitor board at the Nassau County jail now!
