Martin Luther King Day Event

This event will be held in Winthrop at the St. Frances Xavier Church Parish Hall on 20 Lake Street. Beginning at 9am with food and an opening prayer, the program will feature a panel discussion addressing the following questions:

  • What does racial disparity in police stops, sentencing and prison terms look like in Maine today?
  • What are the drivers of incarceration? How do poverty, education and mental health play into these issues?
  • The Garner and Brown cases have gained national attention. What has been the impact in Maine? How do you think we should move forward?
