We have only a few days left to demand Governor Newsom commits to prison closure, rejects prison expansion, and implements further Corrections reductions in the 2026-27 Enacted budget due June 30th.

Over the course of the budget advocacy season, THIS community has sent over 9,000 letters demanding life-saving investments in #CareNotCages. Let’s keep the momentum going in these final days of budget deliberations!

Call Governor Newsom’s office at (916) 445-2841

You can use the following script: “Hello, my name is [Name] from [City]. I’m calling to urge Governor Newsom to follow the Legislature’s calls for an additional prison closure in the 2026–27 Enacted Budget, reject prison expansion projects, and protect the Legislature’s proposed investments in survivor services, immigrant defense, and community-based programs while rejecting further funding to the Corrections budget.”
