Congregations Acting for Justice and Empowerment (CAJE) will hold its Annual Nehemiah Action Monday April 20, at the Old National Events Plaza (formerly the Centre), 715 Locus St., Evansville. Sign in begins at 6pm, with the Action starting promptly at 6:30.
Over 1,000 CAJE constituents and members of the community are expected to attend.
Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, City Council, County Council and members of local Law Enforcement have confirmed their attendance.
Concerned citizens and the media are encouraged to attend as CAJE pushes elected and appointed officials to make positive changes, such as a Jail Diversion program for individuals with mental health conditions, creation of Affordable Housing, and equipping law enforcement with Narcan.
“We are a multi-issue organization that comes together to act on root causes of community problems. CAJE believes, that united, we can be a powerful force for improving the quality of life and the business climate for the greater-Evansville area,†said Linda Henzman, Central United Methodist Church member and CAJE Co-Chair.
Congregations Acting for Justice and Empowerment draws together people of faith to act powerfully to address local community issues through processes of relationship building, direct action, and negotiation with decision-makers.
