Things are moving fast around San Francisco’s disastrous proposal to build a new maximum security jail. Last week, despite public outcry and denunciation, state officials awarded an $80 million loan to San Francisco towards financing the proposed $246 million jail.With all of the debt payments over the years, building this new jail would divert nearly $600 million out of the City’s general coffers, away from programs and services like education, mental health services, and affordable housing. That doesn’t include the costs of operating the facility — or the enormous human and social resources it will drain from our communities.

They know how loud and strong our opposition is. That’s why they’re trying to barrel ahead and fast-track the new jail proposal.

We can’t let them get away with this. Take action:

1) Mobilize to the Board of Supervisors hearing on Tuesday, Nov 17, City Hall, Legislative Chamber, at 2 pm, where the Board will hear an introduction of legislation to accept and expend the funds needed to advance the jail proposal.

2) Call and email the members of the Board of Supervisors immediately. Let them know you are against new jail construction in San Francisco. Click here for more details and sample letters to send.

Demand that these Supervisors reject the funding and oppose the harmful jail plan:

– Julie Christensen, (415) 554-7450, Julie.Christensen@sfgov.org

– Scott Wiener, (415) 554-6968, Scott.Wiener@sfgov.org
– Norman Yee, (415) 554-6516, Norman.Yee@sfgov.org
