Bay Area Regional Jail Fight Meeting – Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco
Local sheriffs are currently attempting to expand and renovate jails in Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco counties. These expansions are all coming out of similar statewide offensives to build more cages on a local level following orders to reduce state prison populations. Let’s work together to strengthen our efforts!
Please join us to build strategy and share resources between the three campaigns to stop jail expansion. In the meeting we will share updates between the jailfights, determine points of common resistance, discuss mounting stronger opposition on a regional and statewide level, and distribute and assess reports, toolkits, or other resources that could be used cross-county.
This meeting is geared towards those already active in the campaigns, however we also welcome new people who would like to join our fights!
Coffee and lunch will be provided. Please email lily@criticalresistance.org with any dietary needs and to let us know you’re coming.
We will be providing some materials and resources. Please email links or documents that you would like shared in the meeting.
