'Dozens of women have shared horrific-sounding bus rides to prisons across the country as the BOP abruptly shut down FCI Dublin... most report that they are getting blamed for the closure because they used their voice to complain about sexual abuse.'

Please join us tomorrow! Our folks inside can hear us! The BOP is continuing to transfer people despite the judge’s order and our own legal action and advocacy. We will not stop fighting for our loved ones here and in BOP cages everywhere.

🚨LWOP sentences are racist, inhumane, costly, and do not contribute to public safety.

BAY AREA! 📢 Tomorrow (Friday) from 9AM - 11AM we will rally near FCI Dublin demanding RELEASES not transfers as the BOP works to abruptly close the prison & ship people far away. Why? To dodge our lawsuit, silence survivor organizing, and hide from long overdue accountability.

The people incarcerated at FCI-Dublin have faced terrible injustices and inhumane treatment for years.

We support the Dublin Prison Solidarity Coalition's call for releases, not transfers. #FCIDublin

#CAleg must ensure that good criminal justice policy – not sensational political rhetoric – dominates the discourse. Anything short of that is a disservice to survivors and fails to center public safety. We urge the committee to fix #SB1414 .

Today’s passage of an amended #SB1414 is a victory for survivors of child sex abuse.

Thank you Senator Aisha Wahab, Senator Scott Wiener & Nancy Skinner for your commitment to holding abusers accountable without hurting kids.

Last week, CURB took to the state capitol urging the #CALeg to commit to closing at least 5 more prisons & cutting CDCr's $14.6 billion budget.

🤔While lawmakers consider cutting & delaying millions from social services, climate change responses, housing & more to lessen CA's

#SB1414 will actually expose teens and young adults to felony prosecution – the law applies even when solicitation takes place between two teenagers. If one 17 year old offers another 17 year old anything in exchange for any sex act, they could be prosecuted for a felony under SB

Today we are proud to release the #SmartSolutions Policy Platform!

Our public safety policy platform prioritizes measures that prevent crime and support people — not lock them up. #CAleg

'Grateful for California Governor Newsom's decision to grant clemency to 18 individuals, giving them a second chance at life. In doing so he's recognizing the very real capacity for people to grow & change. May the hope be infectious, leading to more opportunities for 2024.' - Kelly Savage-Rodriguez

For this month’s virtual gathering, we’re inviting you to CCWP’s panel on 4/3 where we will discuss our recently released report on sexual violence in California women’s prisons. tinyurl.com/ccwp43

Thank you California Governor for your act of leadership and compassion yesterday granting 18 commutations, twelve of which went to people serving LWOP sentences—including two women in our CCWP community! We are thrilled.

There is still time to join us tonight @ 5pm PDT and you don’t want to miss it!

Come for the panel, the poetry, the somatic healing—the visioning work & organizing strategies we need to make California women’s prisons obsolete.
