<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I attended this movie below on Saturday. Powerful film that sadly depicts Wisconsin’s prison, parole and sentencing system that is destroying communities for
generations like this part of Milwaukee. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Private screenings can be arranged and it might be a powerful film for our “Movies that Matter” series either related to inequality or to the “Black Lives Matter”
movement. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Let me know if this is something we want to pursue and I can try and arrange a private screening at our church. See
<a href="http://www.milwaukee53206.com/">http://www.milwaukee53206.com/</a> for more info.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">But before we see this, you can help right now by reading about one case covered in the movie: Baron Walker. You can then write a letter to the Wisconsin Parole
Board to request a Parole Grant to help get him out of a prison or donate money for a lawyer.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Baron is a model prisoner who has served over 20 years and has long met all of the requirements for parole. He has a stable support system of his family and
employment when he gets out. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">He is one of the approximately 3000 prisoners that have been caught with long sentences that were “grandfathered in” when Wisconsin passed the Truth-in-Sentencing
law in 1998. Truth in sentencing forces inmates to serve their full sentences yet was not the law when Baron’ s long sentence was delivered.

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Consider seeing this provocative and oh-so-relevant film!

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The 2016 Milwaukee Film Festival is approaching, 9/22-10/6/16. See <a href="http://MKEFILM.ORG">MKEFILM.ORG</a> for details. Consider seeing the single showing of the film "Milwaukee 53206: A Community
Serves Time" at noon, October 1 at the Oriental Theater. Black Lives Matter to Wisconsin Unitarian Universalists (our UU coalition) is one of the Community Partners for the film. "53206 is the Milwaukee ZIP code where 62% of the adult male residents have
spent time behind bars. A character-driven, immersive ensemble helps tell the stories behind the statistic, showing the effects mass incarceration has on the hearts and minds of those left behind. The film will be followed by an onstage, moderated panel discussion,
one that should prove especially resonant to local audiences." Tickets sometimes sell out quickly so purchase soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
