I spent most of today in Augusta with MCLU staffers Brianna Twofoot and Alysia Melnick.  It was an inspiring day with a press conference to formally launch a campaign to limit the use of solitary confinement.  You can read a brief version of the MPBN story here.   Look for more news in tomorrow's Bangor Daily News or watch it on WABI Television Friday, 1/22.  Sam Shain also did a thorough story for Village Soup here. 

Are you moved to get involved?  We could use your presence in Augusta on Tuesday, February 9 at the MCLU Statehouse Action Day from 9 am to noon in Augusta.  To join us on that day, please contact Katy Jayne at kjayne@mclu.org. 

Can't do February 9?  We'll be participating in a People of Conscience Action Day on Tuesday, February 23 in Augusta. 

At the very least, please sign our petition at www.endsolitary.com.  Together, we can make a difference.
