Mueller Testimony Live Guide. The most important act of public engagement for each person in the nation on July 24 is to watch live the Robert Mueller testimony beginning at 8:30 am ET. Most people in the US do not have the kind of job where they are free to engage in democratic governance and drop work. Everyone is free to read the Mueller report itself in English. It is over 400 pages of dense legal writing impenetrable even to experienced attorneys. Here are the best short guides to the Mueller report using the words of the report itself we have found. https://ift.tt/2Y3pKlZ #mueller #muellerreport #cityproject #robertmueller #muellertime — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2OebAtD

This map of California shows acres of parkland per 1,000 residents weighed against household income. Clearly defined legal standards in bills such as California Prop. 84 are key to alleviating these disparities. https://ift.tt/2OdJ7Ep #cityproject #ej #prrac #parkaccess #legalstandards #map #maps — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/32KoBi4

Education and civil rights are undeniably linked. In 2008, the LAUSD Schoolboard adopted a physical education resolution to comply with California civil rights law in response to community organizing and their use of the legal framework. https://ift.tt/2O3nZkd #cityproject #lausd #education #civilrights #prrac — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/32zqNc9

The legal framework outlined in the PRRAC Handbook helps to combat the lack of park space for children of color and low income, and the health inequities that result. The creation of the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mountains National Monument is a great example of how the framework can be used to achieve environmental justice. https://ift.tt/2Jsx3L4 #cityproject #environmentaljustice #sangabrielmountains #prrac — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2XGHRJi

California voters recently passed Prop. 68, which calls upon agencies to implement justice, equality, and diversity for funding decisions in parks and recreation. If properly enforced, Prop. 68 is a great example of how voters can follow the five point framework outlined in the PRRAC Handbook to achieve environmental justice for all. http://bit.ly/2WP8r7A #prop68 #cityproject #ej #equity #diversity — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2MWhlM5

In the PRRAC book “A Framework for Civil Rights: Environmental Justice and Health Equity”, The City Project’s five point legal framework is applied to different contexts, including legislation and regulations. At the federal level, Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act is the basis for environmental justice, signed into law by Lyndon B Johnson. http://bit.ly/2HYoEOO #cityproject #environmentaljustice #civilrights #equity #healthjustice — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2IpGKIr

“Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice,” according to a statement by hundreds of former federal prosecutors http://bit.ly/2WrNoE1 #mueller #muellerreport #muellerinvestigation #robertmueller #mueller #southerndistrictofnewyork — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2DTyO0G
