Naked City

Journey for Justice, a traveling tour led by opponents of the U.S. government's "race to incarcerate," will arrive today (Thursday) at Trinity United Methodist Church, 600 E. 50th. From 6:30-8:30pm, organizers will show a short video about U.S. drug laws and their effects on families and communities, principally those of color. A subsequent discussion will feature November Coalition (www.november.org) Executive Director Nora Callahan -- whose brother is serving 27 years in federal prison on drug conspiracy charges -- and Editor Chuck Armsbury, who has served time in both federal and state prison. Joining them will be Ann del Llano, Texas ACLU criminal justice liaison and co-coordinator of Austin's Police Accountability Project. The event will also feature performances by musicians Richard Bowden and Karen Abrahams.
