The purpose of Next Steps for Justice is to bring our elected officials, policy changers, local politicians, and business professionals who are in charge of institutions, together with our larger Dubuque Community. Protests will continue to happen as the people see fit, and in conjunction the Dubuque NAACP will work to develop a movement that puts the voice of the people center stage while allowing for collaboration during the solution/plan development process. This is a great way for community members to hold officials and institutions accountable for coming to the table, putting forth a true effort to bring change that is “acceptable” for all, and following up by implementing those changes through practice. The facilitators will guide everyone through the process each session so that everything goes smoothly and everyone is heard. Come ready to learn, come ready to share, and come ready to work together so that we can get the change we all want to see. DubuqueNAACP.com/NS4J.

Will the family successfully secure two-ply toilet paper in trade negotiations with Grandma? What foods (or beverages!) are critical enough to make a special run to the grocery store? And really, who is strong enough to endure more than one Dad joke? Due to copyright restrictions, the video of this performance will not remain online.
