SUMMARY:Meeting at the Library: The ACLU’s Smart Justice Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Grand Traverse Humanists will welcome Anna Dituri of the ACLU\, who will present on ways to improve Michigan’s criminal justice system\, with a focus on what’s going on in our own area. \nMichigan has the fifth largest prison population in the country: more than 39\,000 people\, which is more people behind bars than are incarcerated in Canada. This is costing the state’s taxpayers over $2 billion per year\, more than our public education system. Black citizens are six times more likely to be incarcerated than white people. The ACLU Smart Justice Campaign is an effort to eliminate racism in the criminal legal system and reduce the jail and prison population by 50 percent. Anna Dituri will talk about how the Campaign is working to reach these goals by advocating for new laws\, helping elect fair and competent prosecutors\, and engaging in neighborhood outreach to encourage participation in this effort. \nAnna Dituri was born and raised in Traverse City. She is a Field Organizer working to expand the ACLU of Michigan’s presence and volunteer base in Northern Michigan. Anna previously worked at a law office for ten years and as a Court Recorder in the Antrim\, Grand Traverse and Leelanau County courts. She obtained her Associates Degree from Northwestern Michigan College and her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Justice from Grand Valley State University.

SUMMARY:Humanist Book Club: One Hot Summer
DESCRIPTION:Grand Traverse Humanists will discuss One Hot Summer by Rosemary Ashton for our next book read and discussion. \nHorizon Books provides a 10% discount (15% if you are a Horizon Member) for our Humanist Book Club readers. One Hot Summer is now available at Horizon Books in paperback for $16 ($14.40 with our discount). Our local library system also has copies of the book. \nA Brief Summary:\nA unique\, in-depth view of Victorian London during the record-breaking summer of 1858\, when residents both famous and now-forgotten endured “The Great Stink” together. While 1858 in London may have been noteworthy for its broiling summer months and the related stench of the sewage-filled Thames River\, the year is otherwise little remembered. And yet\, as historian Rosemary Ashton reveals in this compelling micro-history\, 1858 was marked by significant\, if unrecognized\, turning points. For ordinary people\, and also for the rich\, famous\, and powerful\, the months from May to August turned out to be a summer of consequence. \nWe will meet at Isiah and Marlene’s home on November 17 at 4 p.m. To get directions\, RSVP to Marlene by email. Bring a potluck dish to pass\, if you like!
