 July 31, 2010 - CAAPS Seeks Volunteer  Board Members

 

The CAAPS organization, located in Southeast Pennsylvania is empanelling a new board of directors. We are seeking approximately 8 persons, to volunteer to sit on this Board whose function will be to keep the organization focused in the right perspective, oriented,  and accountable to our causes. The time constraints for serving on the board will not be overly consuming due to it being a volunteer position.  It will include a full meeting approximately once a month for a couple of hours, and availability through phone or e-mail access for emergency situations should they arise. We expect to change the board out once a year, however any requests to stay on longer than a year will be considered. Persons wishing to volunteer should come from all walks of life, be educated, reasonable, understanding, and have a penchant for helping society in general. They must be able to look beyond the surface and understand that we deal with Civil and Human rights on the front lines, and that includes dealing with people accused of crimes, prisoners, prisoner rights, police corruption, judicial system corruption, and big corporations that run rampant over people that may appear undesirable to some.  We are the little guys carrying a big stick, fighting abuse, in order to ensure the safety and security of ALL people, making a difference and initiating reform where necessary.  Board members must agree to sign a confidentiality agreement, and should possess some sense of business acuity including financials. Civil Rights attorneys, community activists, business owners, social workers, college students are encouraged to apply, however that is not to discourage the average person that is fed up with the way our systems operate from applying also.

Announcement - 12/01/2009 - CAAPS is proud to announce that it has partnered with Jimmy Justice, the Parking Authority Activist in New York City. Jimmy has been waging war with authoritative agencies in New York City by video recording and confronting officers that park illegaly and abuse their discretionary practices. He posts these videos on youtube.com and has appeared on MSNBC\'s Caught on Tape Series. He believe that simple abuse of parking laws by law enforcement lead to a much greater inhibition of extending that abuse to to bigger violations, aside from the fact that he abhors the hypocrisy of lawmakers making parking laws and law enforcement enforcing them on society when they themselves don't follow the same laws. It is Justice, not 'Just us'. We welcome Jimmy and through combined efforts we look forward to doing great things with him.
