Madison, March 10: Build The People, Not The Jail

EVENT: http://tinyurl.com/ne2xsf4

State Violence manifests in different ways and of those ways is mass incarceration. We must push for justice of all those impacted by state violence.

Come out and Stand with us! Share your voice!!

The Dane County Board Public Protection and Judiciary committee will hold a hearing on Tuesday Match 10th at 5:15 at the City County Building. Young Gifted and Black will hold a rally there at 4:30 pm.

Show up and show out! This is an important time to let your voices be heard!

There is power in numbers. Help us share the vision and demand the Madison of tomorrow.

Will You Stand With Us

If you can’t make it please contact your supervisor and the supervisors on PP&J and Health and Human Needs Committees.

We continue to push for our demands:

1. The county abandon all attempts to expand the capacity of the jail or build a new jail (Black people are disproportionately impacted and jails do nothing to address root causes).
2. The investment into Black led community initiatives (Our solutions should come from us).
3. The immediate release of 350 black people incarcerated due to crimes of poverty (Surviving poverty is not a crime. Poverty itself is the crime).
4. The end of Solitary confinement (it is inhumane and makes mental wellness issues worse).

Please, Stand with Us.
