Dear Governor Scott;

On behalf of the National Association of Black Social Workers, we ask that Ms. Marissa Alexander’s sentence be commuted with time served.

Victims of domestic violence, in stressful situations, with their abusive partners tend to act erratically.  However, in the closed confines of a home, where it is nearly impossible to miss a target, Ms. Alexander did just that.  Her intent by any reasonable person could be interpreted as protecting self from a known violent abuser, rather seeking to do bodily harm.  She has been confined for over two years.   It is now time that some sense of justice is carried out and for her to be released.

The punishment did not fit the crime.  Ms. Alexander has been deprived of her freedom and normal family life for too long.  Ms. Alexander has a very young child to provide care.  Though reasonable minds may differ over the justification for her conviction, few would agree that the crime merited such harsh punishment. 

In the context of fundamental fairness, it is time that justice is done for Ms. Marissa Alexander.  Justice demands that she be released and as quickly as possible.  She has been punished for far too long.

Thank you for investigating this petition on behalf of commutation for her.  Make our system fair and just by expediting her release.

Sincerely,

Joe E. Benton, President

National Association of Black Social Workers

**DO YOU HAVE STUDENT LOANS???**** Elizabeth Warren wants to talk to you!

The fight over student loans is coming to a head. More than 434,000 (!) MoveOn members have signed on in support of Sen. Elizabeth Warren's bill for students to get the same low rates on their loans as the big banks do.

But with student loan rates set to double on July 1 if Congress does nothing, Republican members of Congress took a massive step backward. Last week the Republican-controlled House voted to get rid of fixed-interest loans for students entirely—a devastating move which could result in "ballooning financing costs" for new graduates struggling to get by.1


If thousands of people like us don't get involved in this fight now, student loan rates could double—or worse—in just over a month. So we're holding an emergency online briefing on Monday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET with Sen. Elizabeth Warren to talk about the student loan fight, understand some potential solutions, and make sure we're all ready for the monthlong fight ahead.


All you need to join is a computer with an internet connection. Can you join us?




Here are the details:

What: Special Student Loan Briefing with Sen. Elizabeth Warren

When: Monday, June 3, 9 p.m. ET (8 CT/ 7 MT/ 6 PT)

A Message from the NABSW Executive Board

Item 1. The postmark deadline for submitting membership rosters and dues is being extended by two weeks (Friday, November 16, 2012) for all chapters who were in the path of hurricane Sandy. This includes all chapters in the following areas:

•DC
•Maryland
•Virginia
•New Jersey
•New York
•Connecticut
•Pennsylvania
•Massachusetts
•Nova Scotia, Canada

Item 2. For chapter experiencing difficulty in recruiting or maintaining the required 10 members, they will be able to renew and re-affiliate with 5-9 members. The motion passed at the Steering Committee Meeting in Jacksonville, FL on October 5, 2012 as follows:

To allow chapters who have identified to the membership committee that they are not re-affiliating or are experiencing difficulties establishing a chapter because of the 10 member requirement, an exception to the 10 member requirement is being adjusted as follows:

For one year, community chapters may join with voting rights, with 5-9 members. The normal annual chapter amount of $400.00 per chapter will be prorated to $40.00 per member. Membership dues per member will remain at $25.00 per regular member. If community chapters also have student members, the student membership dues of $10.00 per student will remain the same. Example, a chapter joining with 5 members would submit $200.00 per capita and $125.00 in membership dues for a total of $325.00.

For student chapters, the normal $25.00 per year chapter amount remains the same. Membership dues will remain at $10.00 per student member and $25 for regular members. For example, a student chapter joining with 7 members would submit $70.00 per capita and $25.00 in chapter dues for a total of $95.00.

The membership committee will assess each chapter with less than 10 members periodically. If after one year, and a chapter is still meeting challenges in recruiting 10 members, the membership co-chairs may make a request to the executive board for an additional one year extension.

Please contact our membership Co-Chairs, Roxanne Ellis-Denby, rellisdenby@att.net or Traci Lewis, lewis.40@osu.edu with any questions.

Harambee!

Hotep Family, please see the message below as forwarded from the Greater Metro ABSW. This is a time sensitive application please apply immediately if interested.


Hello:

We are still accepting applications for the U.S. Department of State Student Experience Program (formerly known as the U.S. Department of State Internship Program Spring/Summer/Fall).

Click here (https://state.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/326501200) to go directly to USAJobs to start the Gateway to State online application. Please note that the deadline to submit completed applications is November 2, 2012.

This program offers U.S. citizen undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to participate in 10-week, unpaid internships that provide intensive educational and professional experience within the environment of America’s principle foreign affairs agency.

The unpaid internships are available at many of the over 265 U.S. embassies, consulates and missions to international organizations around the world, as well as at the Department of State in Washington, D.C. and other locations throughout the U.S. Participants gain first-hand, hands-on experience, and learn the realities of working in – and with – Foreign and Civil Service professionals who are at the forefront of America’s diplomatic efforts.

As a Student Experience intern, you may have the opportunity to:
•Participate in meetings with senior level U.S. government or foreign government officials;
•Draft, edit, or contribute to cables, reports, communications, talking points, or other materials used by policy makers in furthering U.S. foreign policy objectives;
•Help organize and support events, including international and/or multi-lateral meetings and conferences on critical global issues;
•Contribute to the management and administration of the Department of State and America’s foreign policy; and
•Engage directly with U.S. or foreign audiences to promote U.S. foreign policy and improve understanding of U.S. culture and society.

So consider spending your summer 2013 with the U.S. Department of State, witnessing and participating in the formulation and implementation of U.S. foreign policy, working closely with the U.S. diplomats and civil servants who carry out America’s foreign policy initiatives. You’ll not only have an experience of a lifetime, you may even earn educational credit.*

* Applicants who are selected for a U.S. Department of State Student Experience can contact the selecting bureau, or the central Student Programs office, if they require further details about the program to support their request for academic credit.
