As director of Youth In Crisis, I would like to inform
you about my organization and ask for your support for our upcoming
special event.  The 3rd Annual Food for Thought Cookout will be held at
Walker’s Park   

Youth In Crisis is a non-profit organization dedicated
to help youth who are in danger of becoming victims to violence and the
other pitfalls that often confront them.  Many of our young people,
particularly the young men, are at the point of becoming an endangered
species. Youth In Crisis has worked hard to help de-escalate gang
violence, misdemeanor crime, drug abuse and domestic violence through
intervention and prevention. We are also advocates for troubled youth
in the schools and court system. Current work focuses on increased
neighborhood safety, outreach to youth, street patrols to talk to youth
who are hanging out and invite them into youth groups, and identifying
funding to increase our impact.

Youth In Crisis needs donations, resources and your
support to help make the 3rd Annual Food for Thought Cookout  a
success.  The Food for Thought Cookout has always been a day of fun,
games and togetherness for our surrouding communities and a opporunity
to promote unity and  the concept that we really are all one big
family.  As a supporter of this vital mission you will have signed on
to help shape and mold the minds of many young people who need our
help.  We have considerable success up to this point but know that we
can extend our reach and do more if we are able to reach out to people
who want to help us make a positive cjange in our neighborhoods and
save our children

We want to tell you about a big event upcoming this summer, and to ask for your help in promoting it.
Our neighborhood will host a Music
Concert in Dorchester Park, featuring Boston's Landmarks Orchestra
under the direction of conductor Charles Ansbacher. The Boston
Landmarks Orchestra is one of only two professional orchestras in the
country whose mission is to perform all free concerts. Over 160,000
people have attended more than 125 concerts during the past seven years.
The Landmarks Orchestra utilizes some of the finest
musicians in Boston to help create a vibrant cultural scene all summer
long, including summer-long Wednesday night concerts at the Hatch Shell
on the Charles River. Now that we have arranged to have our own local
performance in Dot Park, it surely will add to the seasons enjoyment
for scores of local residents.
We are proud to serve as co-chair of the Dorchester Host
Committee, and it is my hope that upwards of a thousand neighbors will
join us in Dot Park for the concert, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. We
are hoping that you will agree to join with us in hosting this event.
As a member of the Host committee, we ask two simple steps:
1.- tell your employees and customers about this wonderful event, and encourage them to attend;
2.- sponsor the concert, it is that easy- no meetings to attend, just help us promote this unique attraction for the community. Sponsors are asked to contribute amounts of $500 or
$1000, and we are seeking just 20 local businesses to join us in
support. All donations are fully tax deductible.

For questions or comments, please call Ed
at 617-834-7577 or Bill at 617-851-9630.

In 1995, Boston Natural Areas Network started the Greenways to Boston Harbor program -
working with community residents and public officials to create the Neponset River
and East Boston Greenways. These innovative effort undertaken with the voluntary citizen
councils for each Greenway facilitate the development of a voluntary neighborhood
strategy for preserving the scenic, natural, historic, cultural and recreational resources
while encouraging compatible economic development and land use.

The Greenways traverse along remarkably diverse neighborhoods, opening up the network
of open space, trails and recreation opportunities to Boston’s inner city population.

Dog owners from Dorchester will appear before
the Commissioners of the Boston Parks Department. As many of you know, we have been working on this effort
tirelessly for over two years and have received an enormous amount of
support. We believe that a dog recreation space not only benefits the
dogs of our community by providing a space for exercise and
socialization, but it also provides an incredible opportunity to bring
the human members of our neighborhood together in camaraderie and
unity. If this is approved, it will be the second city sanctioned
fenced dog recreation space in the City of Boston.

The full proposal is available at www.rodogrun.org for those
of you who wish to read it in advance of the hearing. We encourage
people to attend the hearing, and there will be an opportunity to speak
on our behalf. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Start: 7:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm

The focus of this meeting will be to address the recent shootings in the area and maybe some prevention.

Human rights has emerged as a language and an organizing strategy for activists and advocates around the globe to challenge inequalities and propel social change. The assertion of human rights often serves as an alternative to rights grounded in nationality, gender, or social idnetity. Yet human rights as a framework, particularly as embodied
in international documents, has not always provided an effective
organizing tool for grassroots efforts and progressive organizers on
the ground. Some feel it is too rooted in technocratic approaches to
social change, some that it does not effectively capture grassroots
communities' struggles to gain power.

"Boston Human Rights: Ideas and Action" will bring together academics
and activists to explore the current state of human rfihts activism,
to push the boundraires of the human rights tradition, and to move
forward a human rights campaign in Boston that will actually work for
our communities. The conference is open to academics, activists,
boston-area organizers, and the general public.

Sponsors include: Mass Global Action, Mass-Care, Boston College
Sociology Dept., BC Center for Human Rights and International Justice,
Sociologists Without Borders, the Society for the Study of Social
Problems, and Mass Jobs With Justice
