Madison, Feb. 10: “Build the People, Not the Jail!” Raise Your Voice. #BlackLivesMatter

EVENT: http://tinyurl.com/mj3yhtr

Young, Gifted and Black will be out today, again, attending the PPJ meeting Tuesday Feb 10th at 5:15pm. We will begin with a teach-in, inside the City County building at 4:30pm.

In the PPJ meeting, Sherriff Mahoney will be arguing for monies to be spent on jails. We the YGB, and all of us who are on the side of freedom, will be there to advocate that monies be instead invested in Black communities. Build the people, not the jail!

We must all show up, share our stories, speak our truth, share our data—and continue to fight for liberation!

Show up today and say yes to communities, no to jails! As the chant goes, “show me what democracy looks like”

We continue to push for our demands:

• We demand an injunction of the proposed 8 million dollars for the study related to the remodeling or building a new jail, and for that money to be relocated to Black community led resources

• We demand the release of 350 Black people incarcerated due to crimes of poverty from the Dane County Jail

• We demand the end of solitary confinement
