CURB (Californians United for a Responsible Budget) is a Black-led statewide coalition of more than 80 grassroots organizations that are committed to reducing the number of people in prisons and jails, shrinking the imprisonment system, and shifting public spending from corrections and policing to health and human services. On their website, you can find abundant resources and data about prison budgets, closures, and legislative efforts to change the system.
Today's action is to join CURB's latest organizing effort to demand the closure of 8 California prisons by signing this petition.
