Drop the Rock's Advocacy Day

Sign up today for Drop the Rock's Advocacy Day on Tuesday, March 10th in Albany! On this day, hundreds of Drop the Rock coalition members from throughout the city and state will unite in Albany and speak out for repeal of the Rockefeller Drug Laws. Drop the Rock will arrange for bus transportation from at least three locations in New York City: Union Square, Harlem, and downtown Brooklyn. * To sign up, please contact Caitlin Dunklee, Drop the Rock Coordinator, at 212-254-5700 x 339 or cdunklee@correctionalassociation.org. * If your organization would like to have its members participate in Advocacy Day, please fill out the attached Organization Bus Form. * If you are interested in attending Advocacy Day, and need a letter requesting permission for your P.O., please contact Caitlin and we will be happy to send a letter on your behalf. SPREAD THE WORD! * Help us bring hundreds of New Yorkers to Albany. Please forward this email to your networks, and feel free to make copies of the attached flyer and pass them out in your community, school, and place of work. TRAINING * We are offering an educational training to prepare participants for Advocacy Day on Tuesday, March 3rd at 6PM at the Correctional Association. * We are also able to come to your organization/group to conduct a training for interested participants. If you would like an onsite training, please contact Caitlin Dunklee at 212-254-5700 x339 or cdunklee@correctionalassociation.org. FUNDRAISING * We need help defraying the cost of the buses. The cost of renting buses is our largest expense in making Advocacy Day happen, and each seat comes to about $20. We ask that you help us make this day possible, by paying $20 for your seat, or raising money to pay for your seat on the bus. Please note that no one will be turned away for lack of money. * If your organization is able to fill a bus of 50 seats with participants, please contact Caitlin as soon as possible. Please also ask your organization if they will sponsor the cost of a bus ($1100) or help raise money to enable your group to travel to Albany with us. We will also do our best to help subsidize buses. * If you or your group would like to make a donation for buses, please have checks made out to "The Correctional Association of NY" and mailed to the address listed below. Please make sure to note on the check that the donation is for "DTR Buses". Now is a critical time in the movement to reform New York's incarceration policies. Please sign up today to join Drop the Rock as we urge New York's policymakers to enact repeal of the Rockefeller Drug Laws this year. Please contact Caitlin Dunklee, Drop the Rock Coordinator, at 212-254-5700 x 339 or cdunklee@correctionalassociation.org for more information. Drop the Rock!
