January 2007

Dear Friends,
Last year, we helped defeat plans to build 140,000 new prison and jail cells. While we have collectively made it very difficult for the state to build entirely new large state prisons, the Governor has responded by couching prison expansion in the guise of prison reform. But, we know that expansion is NOT reform. We know that reform lies in reducing the number of people in prison. So, we are back. This time fighting the Governor's plan to build 78,000 new prison, jail and juvenile detention beds and once again, we need you.

The more we make expansion impossible, the closer we get to real moves to reduce the number of people in prison!

To get involved contact CR at 510.444.0484 or croakland [at] criticalresistance.org. For fact sheets and more information visit the coaltion website http://www.curbprisonspending.org. And join us at BEYOND PRISONS DAY, MARCH 28, 2007, where we mobilize to the State Capitol to say no more prisons!

In Solidarity,
Critical Resistance
