SUMMARY:Special Event: #cut50 5th Annual National Day of Empathy (Virtual Only)
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE 3/14/2020: Due to COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus concerns and the Governor Gary Herbert’s prohibition of gatherings of 100 or more\, #cut50 and UPAN organizers have decided to cancel the in-person event and instead provide video recordings of our speakers along with some other top influencers in the criminal justice reform space. We’ll post this to all of our social media pages as well as the UPAN and #cut50 websites. Thanks for your support! \n#cut50 5th Annual Day of Empathy Special National Event\nWednesday\, March 25th\, 2020 \nTopic: On March 25th\, hundreds of activists will meet with elected officials across all 50 states and in Washington\, D.C.\, sharing their experiences and stories\, and exemplifying the human consequences of a criminal justice system that has gotten too big\, too unfair\, and too brutal. Grassroots networks all across the country will be mobilized to spotlight their local efforts and unite under a unified banner to highlight the strength of the criminal justice reform movement. By bringing impacted people and their families together with elected officials and using media and storytelling to share their stories\, we can create empathy on a massive scale for millions of Americans behind bars and their loved ones. Free and open to the public. Live stream on Facebook Live will be available. \nAbout Day of Empathy\nMillions of people suffer behind bars. There are 2.2 million locked away in the United States\, about 25 percent of the world’s total. Out of sight\, they are not just “out of mind.” If we are honest: they are mostly out of our hearts\, as well. \nToo many men and women are unnecessarily incarcerated as a result of the failed policies of the past. Our prison and jail populations grew by more than 400% over the past 30 year\, and there are now nearly 7 million people incarcerated\, on parole\, or on probation. 70+ million Americans have a criminal record. \nThe incarcerated live day after day\, divorced from the empathy of most of human society. They are brutalized\, neglected or otherwise mistreated. We know this. But we look away. We go on with our lives. We let the terrors drag on. This abandonment of our sisters and brothers to such horrors\, committed in our name\, is made possible by a massive “empathy gap” — our inability to see ourselves in those who are incarcerated. \nWe envision a criminal justice system that recognize the humanity of the 2.2 million people currently behind bars in America and moves toward compassion and treatment rather than punishment and incarceration. With empathy\, understanding\, and love\, we can build the political will needed to rectify the damage caused by the incarceration industry on individuals\, families\, and our society. \nhttps://www.thedreamcorps.org/our-programs/cut50/campaigns/day-of-empathy/

SUMMARY:UPAN Monthly Meeting | Topic: Film Screening UNTOUCHABLE
DESCRIPTION:UPAN Monthly Meeting – Special Event Extended Time\nScreening of the documentary film UNTOUCHABLE\, produced by David Fiege. When the most powerful lobbyist in Florida discovers that the nanny has sexually abused his daughter\, he harnesses his extraordinary political power to pass the toughest sex offender laws in the nation. UNTOUCHABLE chronicles his crusade\, and its impact on the lives of several of the 800\,000 people forced to live under the kinds of laws he has championed. The film interweaves intimate portraits of men and women who have been branded sex offenders with the heartbreaking stories of those who have suffered sexual abuse. It is a film that pushes viewers toward an uncomfortable place\, requiring them to walk in the shoes of those who have survived sexual abuse\, but to still bear witness to the experiences of those we revile. Free and open to the public. \n \nUNTOUCHABLE – Festival Trailer from Meerkat Media on Vimeo.

SUMMARY:Measuring and Collecting Criminal Justice Data Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Last October\, #cut50 launched the Empathy Network and webinar series\, engaging justice reform organizations and advocates\, like yourselves\, across our country. We invite you to join our next webinar: \n“Measuring and Collecting Criminal Justice Data“\nw/ Measures for Justice\nTuesday\, January 9\, 2018\, at 10:00 AM PST \nREGISTER NOW \nYou must register in advance to join\, space is limited. RSVP today! \nThe mission of Measures for Justice is to use data to measure and understand county-level criminal justice system performance in all 3\,000+ counties across the US. \nTheir data portal aims to measure how the US criminal justice system is faring in three areas: Fair Process\, Public Safety\, and Fiscal Responsibility. Collecting this data every two years and updating this data regularly will increase its efficacy and usefulness to people who are directly impacted by the criminal justice system\, organizations working to reform the system\, and government agencies. It also has the potential to help solve long-standing and newly developed criminal justice challenges. Currently\, there is a gap in criminal justice data because of records being kept locally\, and not measuring the same issues. Measures for Justice provides context for responsible data interpretation\, which will hopefully stem the use of inaccurate or incomplete sources in trying to identify problems and solutions related to mass incarceration. \nSign up to learn how it’s done and how accurate data collection and use can make you a stronger justice reform advocate! \nMore about the speaker: \n \nFiona Maazel\, Director of Communications\, Measures For Justice \nFiona Maazel is the author of the novels Last Last Chance\, Woke Up Lonely\, and A Little More Human. Her work has appeared in Bookforum\, Conjunctions\, The New York Times\, The New York Times Book Review\, Oprah Magazine\, Salon\, This American Life\, Harpers\, and elsewhere. She teaches at Princeton University and has been with Measures for Justice since 2015. \nDon’t forget to RSVP to reserve your spot. Thank you for being an ambassador for empathy! \nBest\, \nSandhya\n#cut50\nsandhya@dreamcorps.us \nP.S. If you missed our three-part Storytelling Webinar Series or the FrameWorks Webinar\, you can download working materials and watch recordings!

We want them to see our inmates as more than numbers. \nAbout #DayOfEmpathy\n\n\n\nDay of Empathy is a national day of action to generate empathy on a massive scale for millions of Americans impacted by the criminal justice system.\n\nIn order to reform our criminal justice system\, we must first humanize and empathize with those who are impacted by it.\nThe Day of Empathy will highlight the needs and share the perspectives of Americans impacted by the current justice system – from survivors of violent crime\, those who are addicted or mentally ill\, incarcerated individuals working to transform themselves\, people with a criminal record desperately seeking a second chance\, and all community members impacted by crime\, public safety\, and violence. \nWithout empathy\, we cannot achieve meaningful policy changes that keep our communities safe\, our families whole\, and our economy strong. \nThere are thousands of people – mothers\, daughters\, children – who have stories to tell. \nThe Day of Empathy will shine a light on people impacted by the criminal justice system\, uplift their voices\, and win over hearts and minds towards the idea that transformation is possible.\nHOW WE’LL DO THIS\n\nOn March 1st\, 2017 organizations across the country will be activated for a single day of action to spotlight their local efforts and unite under a unified banner to highlight the strength of the bipartisan criminal justice reform movement.\n“Ambassadors of Empathy” will meet with elected officials in State capitols and Governors’ offices across the country. They will share their experiences and how they have been impacted by the criminal justice system. Legislators will gain first-hand experience of the human consequences of a criminal justice system that has gotten too big\, too unfair\, and too brutal.\nThe Day of Empathy will feature storytelling\, digital media\, and virtual  realitycontent to humanize formerly incarcerated people\, survivors of violent crime\, and millions of others. By delivering a set of powerful\, emotional experiences to lawmakers and fellow Americans\, the Day of Empathy will accelerate the bipartisan drive to create more effective\, efficient\, and humane criminal justice system.\n\nOUR TEAM\nWe have teamed up with storytellers\, media industry insiders\, technology leaders and policy experts with direct access to leaders in the U.S. Congress\, the White House\, criminal justice activists\, major news outlets and technology pioneers.

SUMMARY:Faith in Law Enforcement Reform
DESCRIPTION:Many of our guests at this January’s “Faith In Reform” event at Salt Lake Community College expressed a concern about law enforcement’s role in making the problems in our criminal justice system worse. Several innocent people have been hurt or killed by police officers since our January gathering – in Utah\, and across the country. Excessive force and police brutality remain very serious issues\, and they will not be resolved without strong involvement from the communities that are most impacted. We want to share with you this invitation to attend a community gathering to discuss “Civilian Review Boards” and how they can be used to increase police accountability. \nSponsored by: ACLU of Utah\, Calvary Baptist Church\, Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City\, Journey of Hope\, and UPAN
