Vietnam quickly employed a variety of successful tactics to detect cases and reduce the risk of the epidemic from spreading, including widespread quarantining and aggressive contact tracing. These methods have subsequently won praise from the World Health Organization and the CDC for its transparency in dealing with the crisis.

CourtWatch

CourtWatch as a Model for something we might do

• a description of court watch
• my experience
• how this might this something like courtwatch could be used by 350

Description

• Who: Sponsored by ACLU or other community organizations. Some paid organizers and the rest volunteers.
• What: Apply pressure on DA's and elected officials with facts.
• Where: There are many CourtWatch projects world wide. Seems like every state. Many countries: Poland, France. Multiple project around the state.
• Why: Mostly focussed on helping poor people get fair treatment in court, which includes people of color and immigrants.
• How: Volunteers collect data by race. Analysis by researchers. Lawyers present findings to DA and press.

My Experience

• About a year ago I signed up for the Bail Fund. They got my name from my Synagogue, Shirat Hiyam. They never called me back. But they did give my name to ACLU's CourtWatch. 
• I helped accused say "Judge I do not understand the charges. I want to talk to my lawyer". You get more time. Might get dismissed. Flawed cases.
• Some judges welcomed me. My presence changed things for the better.
• Security guard from Lynn said everyone knew when I was in the building.
• Turned in about 10% of the cases. 40 times.
• Saw first hand how wealth tips the scales of justice. We are wasting money.
• Rollins, globe, changes in cell phones in Lynn.

How we might adapt this

• Collect data on constituencies, new programs and bills passed
• Analyze, compare, present and publish
