For the last two years, T’ruah clergy and their communities have been organizing in support of the #NoNewWomensPrison campaign — an effort to stop a $50 million women’s prison project and instead invest in Massachusetts communities most affected by incarceration.
The legislative centerpiece of the campaign is the Prison and Jail Construction Moratorium, which on Tuesday, June 27th, will have a public committee hearing at the MA State House. Following the lead of directly affected women and their families, we are showing up to support the moratorium, and we hope you will join us! There will be a rally outside the State House at 10:00 a.m, and the hearing will begin inside at the Gardner Auditorium at 11:00 a.m.
Sign up at tinyurl.com/MoratoriumHearing or email Michaela at mcaplan@truah.org with any questions.
