Close CA Prisons Rally & Press Conference: Mobilization to Norco!

July 20, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Join Critical Resistance & Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB) in Norco, CA on July 20 outside the CA Rehabilitation Center (CRC) prison for a rally to urge Governor Newsom to close at least 5 more prisons and SAVE BILLIONS for community care, starting with CRC.

Register now: tinyurl.com/norcoreg 

CRC Norco has a long history of inhumane conditions: violence from guards, lack of programs, infestations, dilapidation, and extreme heat. Last week’s record-breaking temperatures highlight the urgent need to close prisons like CRC Norco.

The new state budget includes historic department of corrections (CDCR) cuts, but more prison closures are needed to ensure savings support our communities. With 19,000 empty prison beds projected by 2028, we can close 5 more prisons without overcrowding. Now is the time to act. Join us!

Can’t make it to Norco? Or eager to take action now?

July 20 Norco Rally Highlights:
  • Guest Speakers: Loved Ones of Incarcerated Folks
  • Readings from those inside CRC Norco
  • New prison closure materials
  • Press Conference
  • Visuals, community swag and more!
