<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I hope everyone is doing as well as you can be given all of the issues we are dealing with as a community. I know we could all use some inspiration
right now, so I am very excited to announce that MPD will host a book tour event with Jon Rapping, the founder and President of Gideon’s Promise, on Friday October 2<sup>nd</sup> from noon to one for public defenders across Oregon. I worked with Jon at the
D.C. Public Defender Service from 1998-2001. He is a passionate, dedicated, and inspirational public defender.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Since then, Jon has been a tremendous advocate for public defenders and the transformation of the criminal legal system in a multitude of ways. Here
is a link to his bio: <a href="https://www.gideonspromise.org/jonathan-rapping/">
https://www.gideonspromise.org/jonathan-rapping/</a> His vision is critically important to making progress in public defense.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">He recently released his book
<u>Gideon’s Promise: A Public Defender Movement to Transform Criminal Justice</u>. Next Friday, he will discuss his book and inspire all of us. I hope everyone, and your offices, are able to attend as it is intended for everyone providing public defense
in the State. The zoom link and a link to his book are both below. Keep fighting for our clients and each other!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
