 1101 E. University Ave.                 Fresno, CA 93741  After over 20 
 years of continuous prison construction across the State,   concerned 
 Central Valley residents, organizers, educators, prison experts,   prisoner 
 advocates and family members are asking: what have prisons done to   our 
 communities?  Dismayed that the Governor's promise to reform the 
 out-of-control Department   of Corrections has yielded an increase in state 
 funding, Californians United   for a Responsible Budget (CURB) and the 
 California Prison Moratorium Project   (CA-PMP) will hold a People's 
 Hearing on the real impact of prisons in the   Central Valley  All are 
 welcome!!  Please Join Us!!  The hearing will include testimony from over 
 15 local organizers, service   providers, scholars, and prisoner and public 
 safety advocates.  Among the questions CURB hopes to answer:  What has 
 happened in towns where prisons were built over the last twenty   years?  
 What are the impacts of runaway prison spending on social services and   
 education in the Valley?  What steps are Central Valley residents taking to 
 reverse the damage of this   massive prison build up?  Californians United 
 for a Responsible Budget (CURB), a broad based coalition   of over 40 
 organizations, seeks to CURB prison spending by reducing the   number of 
 people in prison and the number of prisons in the state. For more

 HEAR WHY OUR SCHOOLS ARE BEING SHUT DOWN  OR THEIR BUDGETS ARE BEING CUT 
 AND WHY THIS ONE Industry's BUDGET  CONTINUES TO GROW or sustain.  call me
