<<please forward widely>>

---------------------
Call In for CORI Reform (pt 1)!
October 22nd - October 31st

GOOD JOBS can break the cycle of poverty, violence, and incarceration in our
communities.  BUT the CORI – our state's criminal record check system –
stops thousands from obtaining decent work.  The time for change is NOW.

Over 600 people came to the State House last month in support of CORI
reform.  The Governor's Office is deciding whether to act on the CORI issue.

Please support the movement and call your officials today.

DEAR GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK:

The violence that plagues our streets has put our communities in crisis.
CORI is a barrier to jobs, education and housing for both youth and adults.

People with CORIs are being discriminated against, and the waiting period to
seal a CORI is too long.

We are counting on you to act now.  Don't forget about your community.

SUPPORT THE PUBLIC SAFETY ACT of 2007, H.1416.

DEAR MAYOR THOMAS MENINO:

As you know, the CORI is creating crises in our neighborhoods.  Without
jobs, the violence will continue.

Thank you for speaking out for CORI reform.

Please support the "Public Safety Act" (H.1416) and use your power as mayor
to win reforms now.
