    logo_leagueofwomenvotersSedona AZ (February 25, 2020) – The League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley Voters Education Program, and OLLI at Yavapai College – Sedona/Verde Valley present a stimulating discussion on Arizona’s incarceration crisis featuring Khalil Rushdan on Monday, March 16, 2020, 12:30PM-2:00PM at Yavapai College, Room 34, 4215 Arts Village Drive, Sedona.

    When fighting the drivers of mass incarceration, we must do more than just change laws.  We must look to change the punitive mindset that creates a culture of mass incarceration that is practiced in Arizona.  Hear stories from those directly impacted by incarceration, and who have become advocates for change. An audience discussion and questions and answers will follow the presentation.

    The session will be facilitated by Khalil Rushdan.  Exoneree, Khalil Rushdan, is the Community Partnership Coordinator at the ACLU of Arizona on the Campaign for Smart Justice.  He is an on the ground mentor and resource for both Arizona Justice Project clients and hundreds of formerly incarcerated individuals through the Sage Counseling 1291 Re-entry Program.  Members of both the legal community and the private sector look to Rushdan as a leader who brings “real-time” solutions to the community that helps empower individuals by rebuilding their lives upon release from incarceration.

    Voters Education is a regular program of the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley and is in partnership with OLLI at Yavapai College – Sedona/Verde Valley.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
