School Committee candidates to answer questions about equity
and social justice...
NAACP and Coming Together are sponsoring a special forum for
School Committee candidates to be questioned by the community
Monday, March 20, 2017, 7-9 pm The Bangs Center, large
activity room
For more information, please contact Alyssa Melnick /
alyssa@mmelnick.com
Many of us have long believed that candidates for the
Amherst School Committee should share their views about issues of race and
social justice with the public prior to election day. This is the first time for this event and a sizable audience
will help show everyone that these issues are important in our community.
