Welcome to our Open House: Would you please take a moment to complete the survey at this link. Thank you.
Please join us for our 2nd Annual Open House meeting on the 16th of August from 7:30-9:00 at First AME of Manassas. This meeting is an opportunity for you to meet other PW NAACP members and to receive an overview of the unit activities and plans for the rest of the year. To encourage attendance, we are having a members’ raffle, with a $200 prize. To be eligible for the prize you must be present, and your dues must be current. The raffle drawing will be conducted at the end of the meeting; so if you renew or join during the meeting, you will be eligible. Please share this flyer with friends and family in the area and encourage their participation. Also visit our Open House Event Page on facebook and invite friends and neighbors.
The PWC NAACP is aware of the challenges we face in the pursuit of equality, and we are working on positive solutions to address problems. We need you to be part of the solution. Get Connected, Get Informed, Get Involved:
· Did you know that African American businesses only generate 1.2% of the revenue in PWC? Come and hear our plans to do something about that.
· Did you know that Virginia has the highest suspension and expulsion rate for African American students? Come and find out what the Education Committee is doing to address this trend.
· Do you support the use of body worn cameras by local law enforcement? Come and see how you can help advocate for body worn cameras in Manassas, Manassas Park, or Prince William County.
· Are you concerned about the disproportionate rate African Americans have lost their voting rights because of felony convictions? Join our team to help returning citizens get their rights restored.
These are the types of issues we discuss at our General Membership meetings and the type of work our committees undertake to address inequality in the Prince William area.
We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday, the 16th of August.
