YAL @ UTEP Forum on High Incarceration Rates in the US

Fun, Educational, & FREE Pizza after!

GET EDUCATED & MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

Join us in our mission to create awareness about the
RISING INCARCERATION RATES
& ITS DANGERS TO THE ECONOMY!
Over 2 million people are incarcerated for misdemeanors, such as petty theft and a gram of marijuana. These misdemeanors can be solved with community service, small fines, etc. Instead, we have been wasting BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars (our money) into building more and more prisons, when we can be spending that money in resources that will benefit the society and boost the economy. Help us seek judicial reform, and be smarter with our money.

Public Speakers will include:

• Robert Vega Jr.
• Danny "Kike" Perez
• Dr. Mimi Gladstein

Time & Location:
@2 P.M. - 4 P.M.
Templeton Suite at the Union East Bldg. Room #313

BONUS: FREE PIZZA!

See you there!
