California’s budget is being finalized this week while the state faces a $12 billion shortfall and renewed threats from a hostile federal administration. Time is running out to make smart, values-aligned choices.

Join CURB in sending an easy, click to send email to members of the legislature uplifting the following demands:

1. One prison closure is NOT enough. Close at least TWO state prisons, generating an additional $150 million more in annual savings.

2. Fully decommission all prisons in “warm shutdown,” ending the $300 million (and growing) cost of maintaining facilities that have been deactivated.

3. Redirect this wasteful spending into essential public health, housing, transit, and care programs that protect our most vulnerable communities.
