An open letter to State Governors (Mass. only)

Sign H.5065 and pass the Jail and Prison Construction Moratorium

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I’m asking you to sign the Infrastructure Bond Bill including the Jail and Prison Construction Moratorium. Massachusetts needs a 5 year pause on new jail and prison construction so we can focus on implementing alternatives and investing in community-led solutions for real safety and wellbeing. I am also asking you to use your last months in service of racial and gender justice by granting clemency for women who are older than 50, who are sick, who are survivors of violence, and who have served longer than 10 years. We should empty Framingham prison - not rebuild it.
