On Tuesday evening, April 5, 2011, All of Us or None had a major breakthrough with Compton's City Council for BAN THE BOX. The mayor and all council members voted for the passing of BAN THE BOX. Our team would like to invite everyone out to help celebrate our victory on April 12, 2011, @ 5:30PM @ WLCAC's Freedom Hall.



This meeting will also include Lifer's Families and Friends Project. We shall celebrate, but also share pertinent information on AB13. This bill cannot pass and your help is needed.


Our victory in Compton is only the beginning of a process that has the potential to expand to others cities and we shall discuss which city will be our next focuss.


I would like to personally thank each individual that spoke to the city council Tuesday evening and the supporters that were there to cheer us on in spirit and in truth. The atmosphere touched me personally and I am truly grateful for the team that was put together to voice our BAN THE BOX STRATEGIES.


Susan Burton, Melissa Burch, Vonya Quarls, Quanmesha Smith, Lady "T", Mike Chattom, myself, and I believe two to three others, which included an elder woman gave the council words that were so awesome, delightful and true that we cannot be thankful enough for the dedication that went with the struggle.


Save the date and come join us Tuesday evening to celebrate. If there are any questions, comments that you have and cannot wait for the 12th., feel free to call me any time.
