Dozens of organizations across our region are united: Invest in our communities, not cages.
Saying no to new jails doesn’t mean ignoring harm if it happens. It means dealing with harm in ways that are survivor-led and address root causes, rather than locking people away.
Every dollar spent expanding jails is money stolen from what actually keeps us safe. And demanding better conditions and medical care for people inside today isn’t endorsing incarceration, it’s basic human decency.
We reject the false choice between keeping things as they are or expanding.
