Resource List
A group is meeting to develop a resource lending library of social and economic justice materials (books for adults and children, videos, etc.) We are hoping that these resources will find a home in the Morgantown public library and will be available to schools, teachers, churches and community groups as well as individuals. If you’re interested in helping, or have suggestions about resources, contact Judy Cohen (292-0072) or Jacqueline Moseley (296-1415).
Economic Justice
A group has been formed to investigate and discuss work on issues of economic justice and inequality. If you want to know more, contact Paul Becker (292-2983) or Tim Hairston (292-0601).
City Human Rights Commission
We are continuing to work on the City Human Rights Commissionand we are
talking with COSO (Council on Sexual Orientation) about joint work. If
you are interested, contact Barb Howe
(293-2339 ext. 1155) or Emily Spieler
(293-7690).
Regional Jail
Last year CCSJ sponsored a town meeting focusing on the new North Central
Regional Jail. Now that the regional jail has been operating for seven
months, CCSJ feels that it is time to go back and reexamine the issues
surrounding the jail and hold another town meeting. There have been allegations
from inmates, police officers, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges that the
regional jail is not accommodating the needs of the inmates. Allegedly,
the inmates are not provided with work release, community service opportunities,
drug rehabilitation, or even opportunities to meet with family and counsel.
If you are interested in meeting to organize another town meeting on the
regional jail issue, please contact Michael
Sharley at 292-6075.
PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays)
A PFLAG group (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), has begun meeting
in Morgantown, third Sunday of each month, 1-3 pm, in the basement of
the Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship. Next meeting is Sunday March 17.
PFLAG exists for mutual support among both GLBTQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgendered and those questioning) people and those who care about them.
It is a place where both GLBTQ people and those close to them can address
the issues they face and their feelings about these issues, safely and
in confidence. Contact person is Judy
Cohen ( 292 0072).
