Through our collective work since 2021, we’ve gotten two California state prisons closed, one slated for closure soon, and one private prison lease terminated. Let’s keep up the pressure and get closer to our goal of 10 prisons announced for closure by 2025 (that’s 7 more)!

Join us in calling on Governor Newsom to name at least 5 more state prisons for closure between now and the January 2024-25 proposed California state budget!

As California faces a staggering $68 billion budget shortfall, the closure of more prisons not only makes fiscal sense but also aligns with a transformative approach to criminal justice and will allow our taxpayer dollars to go towards the community-based investments we truly need to be safe.
Together, we can get more closures on the books and help create the future we want to live in.
