It’s time for us to demand healthcare for the people!
We are calling on all community members, healthcare providers, formerly incarcerated folks and their families to make your voices heard.
After two years of fighting the jail expansion in Alameda County, we have finally won our hearing on alternatives to incarceration for those who suffer from mental illness.
However, the county is doing everything in their power to fast track the jail expansion without community input. There is no such thing as mental health in a jail. The first step the county needs to take in implementing alternatives is to stop expansion.
Let’s show them that we are watching and paying attention. That’s why we need everyone to come out on July 24th and have all eyes on the Board of Supervisors.
Please join us for a meeting with the public health and public safety committees.
Why: To urge the Board of Supervisors to invest in alternatives to incarceration for those who need mental health support.
Are you in? Feel free to email decarceratealamedacounty@gmail.com to RSVP or ask us any questions about the hearing.
In community,
Decarcerate Alameda County
