The ACTS Justice Task Force Meeting is cancelled January 17th, 2012. Please attend our next scheduled meeting on February 21st, 2012! .................................................................. Congratulations... ACTS Annual Meeting! January 26th Directions ~ http://www.acts-cny.com/directions.php Congratulations to ACTS and the ACTS Justice Task Force! CHAIRS reports will no longer be provided to the public!
ACTS received news late on December 22, that the Sheriff's Office sent out a press release effective immediately with the following statement:
"Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin E. Walsh announces that effective immediately the
Onondaga County Sheriff's Office will no longer provide arrest history background checks as a result of a lawsuit."
This tremendous success is a result of several years of hard work and determination to see people's rights respected and to see our community stand by the fundamental right of innocent until proven guilty. Recently, a lawsuit filed by Legal Services of Central New York with assistance from the ACTS Justice Task Force and the Center for Community Alternatives was the final action taken to achieve this victory. Please watch for more information in the local news and disseminate news of this victory widely! ACTS 3 NEW ISSUES...
