Monday, July 2, 2012 Civil Rights Groups Battle Arizona Immigration Law POLITICS CBS: Roberts Flipped Obamacare Vote POLITICS End of the Affair: How Flagging Youth Voter Enthusiasm Could Cost Obama the Presidency MEDIA Tensions Rise Within CNN: Report SCIENCE Have Physicists Found The 'God Particle?' NEW YORK LOCKOUT: Con Ed Dismisses Over 8,000 Workers During Heat Wave BLOG POSTS Arianna Huffington: The X Factor: The X PRIZE Meets HuffPost In a world of multiple crises, sub-optimal solutions, and a lack of urgency from our elected officials, the X PRIZE's mission of seeking bold answers to our biggest challenges is essential, inspiring, and -- hopefully -- contagious. John Cusack: The Alchemists: A Conversation With Phil Stutz, Part I Through Phil Stutz's and Barry Michels' approach, which draws in part on the Jungian principle of active imagination, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and spiritual precepts unbuckled from religion, the problems and pain of life become the foundation for creating meaning and transformation. Leo W. Gerard: Romney's Independence Day Advice: Buy Foreign On this Independence Day, demonstrate patriotic pride by deliberately buying American. Search for that "Made in USA" label. Pick the product that will create American jobs, the one that is an investment in an American company and the American economy. C. Cryn Johannsen: The Ones We've Lost: The Student Loan Debt Suicides Suicide is the dark side of the student lending crisis and, despite all the media attention to the issue of student loans, it's been severely under-reported. I can't ignore it though. James Franco: Magic Channing Tatum While most people are waiting for Spiderman or The Dark Knight Rises, the one film I've been thinking about is Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike. I want Tatum to walk away a champion by making a personal film.

Safer's Crossroads ATC to Remain Open

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Public Policy and External Relations June 29, 2012 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Save Crossroads" Campaign a Success!   You Made a Difference!     TO:                 Safer Foundation Staff, Clients, Constituents, and Friends   FROM:           Diane Williams, President & CEO   RE:                 Campaign to "Save Crossroads" is Successful!   DATE:           June 29, 2012     Great news! Together, we did it!   Safer Foundation's Crossroads Adult Transition Center is remaining open!   We could not have done this without YOU. Your voice really did make a difference.   Staff members and supporters joined us over the last several weeks, talking to lawmakers, even writing letters to Governor Quinn and others in state government, hoping to convince them of the need to keep funding for re-entry services in the fiscal 2013 budget.   Today, we received the formal notification cancelling the closure of our Crossroads ATC.   Again, this outcome would not have been possible without your dedication, support, and action.   Thanks to you, services remain in place that will give men coming out of prison the tools they need to stay on a crime-free track, get a job, stay employed, pay taxes, and become responsible, law-abiding citizens. When that happens, all of society wins.   Safer Foundation and our clients greatly appreciate all you have done.   Thank you for helping to "Save Crossroads!"         Follow Us on Twitter! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow @SaferFoundation on Twitter for more updates on criminal justice news and more information about the organization. We appreciate your support!  Public Policy and External Relations Contacts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ B. Diane Williams, President / CEO Veronica Cunningham, Vice President, Public Policy and External Relations Jon Kaplan, Director, Marketing and Communication Anthony Lowery, Director, Policy and Advocacy phone: 312-922-2200 www.saferfoundation.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Many articles refer to people with criminal records as "ex-offenders" or "offenders". While we appreciate all the positive press these issues receive, we are working to use other terms to describe our clients that do not carry such negative connotations. These terms include "people with criminal records" or "people reentering society".
