On May 3rd at 6pm we will have this year’s Nehemiah Action, via Zoom. 

Last year over 700 people of faith from Pensacola spoke in public with our incoming State Attorney and our incoming sheriff. The Sheriff and State Attorney both committed to increase the use of Civil Citations instead of arrests for youthful misdemeanors. Civil Citations spare these children a lifelong criminal record, while holding them accountable for their actions. 

This year we will be again discussing this issue with the new State Attorney and Sheriff to see what progress they have made. 

We hope to have 1000 people on the Nehemiah Action on Zoom. Since this is a UU congregational commitment we need to have as many of us as possible at this Zoom event. Please mark it on your calendar and look for the link that Members and Friends will receive via email. I hope to see you there. Call me if you have any questions.
