Thursday, 2/9: Prison Moratorium State House for a Day of Action
The Healey administration is advancing the new women’s prison project, and now is the time to come together to stop it once and for all. This Thursday at 3 pm, join Families for Justice as Healing at the Massachusetts State House to let Governor Healey and Legislature that we do not need to build new prisons. Meet at the front steps of the State House on Beacon St for a rally with speakers, signs, and music and then we will go inside the building. You will get materials to drop off at legislator’s offices about the urgency to pass the Prison Moratorium NOW and other legislation to reduce the number of people incarcerated in MA. RSVP HERE.
Have a few minutes today for a quick action? Call Governor Healey and leave a message about why it’s time to put a pause on new prisons and jails: bit.ly/massmoratoriumguide.
