[Peace] Re: [Announce] Urbana City Council - Sept. 29

[Ricky Baldwin]

No problem, Brian - 

Thanks for keeping us informed.  Is there a mass showing/speakout planned?  Do we have talking points to offer folks, or shou;ld we speak from the heart?

This is a very important change, which I know fmr Councilmember and friend of us all Danielle C. championed for quite awhile.  Too many young people have their lives ruined before they get started good, with lunatic charges for what often amounts to harmless behavior ... this kind of criminal charge is not a realistic road to reform for a young person who may be struggling, unsure what to do with themselves yet, or who may simply want to take a different path once the heady days of youthful indiscretion and presumed immortality have passed.  It's nobody's business, but even if it were, criminal charges wouldn't help.
