New prisons will not keep us safe, inside or outside of them. Think of how much good the ARP funds could do if allocated to schools, healthcare, housing, etc. Let's not waste them. #nonewprisons #classroomsnotcages

Even the federal government knows that the state's recently approved plan for prison construction will not address the real issues of abuse and neglect within Alabama prisons. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%… #NoMorePrisons #nonewprisons #AmericanRescuePlan #covidrelief
We defeated the first plan and we'll take down every plan they throw at us because we deserve better than mass incarceration. Create more humane conditions within the prisons while decreasing the prison population. Now that's a plan worth funding! aldailynews.com/ivey-encourage…
The primary reason AL is facing a crisis in its prisons, a lawsuit from the DOJ, and a continuous cycle of Alabamians who have been destabilized is because the Legislature continues to ignore root causes of crime and violence. alabamasmartjustice.org/reports/2021-s… alabamasmartjustice.org/reports/2021-s…
Gov. Ivey hasn't given up on new prisons. We have to get the word out to Alabamians across the state to contact their leaders and demand alternatives to more incarceration. Phone bank (every other Tuesday): signupgenius.com/go/10c0e49a4ae… Canvass: signupgenius.com/go/10c0e49a4ae…
We're glad to have SURJ as a coalition partner. To get involved with racial justice work in Alabama, you can join the SURJ Alabama monthly meeting THIS EVENING. You can register for that one, and all future SURJ Alabama meetings here. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…
We asked Stifel's CEO and board to withdraw from facilitating the construction of massive new prisons in Alabama. Unfortunately, they still have not done so. We invite you to make that request alongside us by sending them an email using this link! actionnetwork.org/letters/action…
Leslie Ogburn, a homeowner near the proposed prison site, and prisoner rights activist Rev. Kenny Glasgow, along with the state auditor and an Alabama legislator, have filed a lawsuit against Gov. Ivey for signing prison leases without proper approval. al.com/news/2021/04/a…

ACTION ALERT: PHONE ZAP We need your help tomorrow 4/22 to let the 1 remaining bank know they're gonna hear from us until they back out of this deal. Funding incarceration is just wrong and we won't tolerate it! #nomoreprisons fb.me/e/3FxhVXHAY
One bank, Stifel, has yet to make a formal statement on their funding for CoreCivic’s prison construction project in Alabama. The other 2 banks, KeyBank and Barclays, have backed out of the deal- tell Stifel to do the same! #nofundingforprisons actionnetwork.org/letters/action…
ACTION: Big banks are trying to raise money around the world to build private prisons in rural Alabama. Use this platform to tell these investors that we don't want their prisons! actionnetwork.org/letters/action…
JOIN US IN A CARAVAN FOR JUSTICE. Saturday, March 27, in Montgomery. Alabama's elected officials need to know that we demand better, and that we're not going anywhere. #alpolitics You can find the Facebook Event here: facebook.com/events/4798372…
The new prisons proposed for #Alabama are supposedly meant to address overcrowding, but @ALCorrections admits that even the new prisons would be overcrowded on DAY ONE. We need to release people from our overcrowded prisons, not build new ones. #nonewprisons
CoreCivic, a private prison company, will break ground in Alabama next year. Regions Bank is funding the effort, and now members of @alagainstprison are calling them out. cw.ua.edu/72765/news/ala…
Private prison corporations are poised to rake in at least $2.6 billion in #Alabama tax dollars from @GovernorKayIvey's backroom deal. Imagine what that kind of money could do for our state if it wasn't being wasted on expanding mass incarceration? #nonewprisons
TODAY at Regions Bank! Alabama Students Against Prisons calls for @askregions to STOP funding mega-prisons in Alabama! Hear from ASAP about their concerns at the downtown Birmingham location (1900 5th Ave N) from 7-9 AM and 11AM-1PM. The main protest will take place from 4-6PM.
