As the We Keep Us Safe Series comes to a close we want to yell THANK YOU from the rooftops to everybody who contributed in any way at all. This couldn’t have been possible without each one of you and we hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.

Please share with us your favorite memory from any of the events, how we can do better and what else you might want to see as we continue to collectively reimagine what keeps us safe in our lives. 🫂🥰

If interested in any future work, in any events that we did or in working towards more ambition goals like a state bail fund, please feel free to reach out to us! 📨

CT4A stands against prisons in any form, for any person for any age, whether that’s in our backyard or across the country. We want an end to the expansion and existence of the Prison Industrial Complex.

CT State officials tried to build a youth prison in Tolland without anyone noticing. CT4A says No to a new youth prison.

We urge residents to stay informed about what’s going on in your backyards and join us in saying “No” to new youth prisons.

Here are a couple of the amazing letters from our recent letter writing session and satellite sessions across the state, where we write letters of positivity to incarcerated youth, migrant detainees and the people of Palestine. No walls can ever contain the love and potential that we have. 💌💌💌

Which letter’s your favorite?

Thank you everyone who participated and all the groups who invited us to write letters with them. If your group or organization would ever be interested in hosting a satellite session, feel free to reach out! 📫🫂
