Tell The Mental Health Advisory Board-No New Jail!

The Alameda County Jail Fight Coalition is calling health care workers and community members to attend the Alameda County Mental Health Advisory Board meeting where they will be discussing the Sherffis proposal to build a new “mental health unit” at the Santa Rita Jail. The sheriff thinks he can get the Mental Health Adviory Board to rubberstamp his proposal – join us as we demand real accountability and real solutions to our county’s needs. We need to let the Mental Health Adviory Board know that the community and healthcare workers are opposed to the use of jail as mental healthcare.

Stand with us in our demands to:

1. Stop all construction plans for the new jail
2. Invest in alternatives to incarceration and community health
3. Divest from incarceration and policing
