Prison Activism

We’ve all heard the statistics that 1 in every 100 Americans are incarcerated. If you are fed up with it and want to make a difference please join us in being heard... In the spirit of the 1775 Boston Tea Party, we'd like we'd like everyone who so chooses to send a tea bag to your legislators on behalf of your loved ones in prison or just to express your concern about prison reform. |
Common Sense for Drug Policy is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to reforming drug policy and expanding harm reduction. CSDP disseminates factual information and comments on existing laws, policies and practices. CSDP provides advice and assistance to individuals and organizations and facilitates coalition building. CSDP supports syringe exchanges, the expansion of Methadone and Buprenorphine availability and other public health measures to reduce harm to users and restrict the spread of HIV / AIDS and Hepatitis C. CSDP advocates the regulation and control of marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol and subject to local option. CSDP favors decriminalizing the use of hard drugs and providing them only through prescription. CSDP also advocates clear federal guidelines for the practice of pain management so that physicians need not fear unwarranted law enforcement scrutiny of medical practices. |

The Church of My Faith in God [font face="times" color="#000000" size="4"]has established The Expungement Reform Movement to propose a resolution that would permit people who have had or those who wish to have expungements or pardons the ability to petition the court to have an arrest and conviction record resulting in an expungement or pardon sealed after five years from the date of their expungement or pardon and destroyed three years after the sealing of an expungement in the similar fashion as the California Penal Code Section 851.8[fullfont face="times" color="#000000" size="4"] permits individuals to petition to have their arrest records sealed and destroyed prior to conviction. The proposal also seeks to modify California Penal Code Section 11105[fullfont face="times" color="#000000" size="4"] to restrict disclosure of an arrest and conviction that has been dismissed pursuant to California Penal Code Section 1203.4[fullfont face="times" color="#000000" size="4"] or pardoned by the California State Governor.

PARC is a prison abolitionist group committed to exposing and challenging the institutionalized racism of the prison industrial complex. We are also committed to developing and practising anti-oppression as individuals and in our organization. PARC believes in strategies and tactics that build safety in oppressed communities without reliance on the police or the PIC. We produce a directory that is free to prisoners upon request, and seek to work in solidarity with prisoners, formerly incarcerated people, their friends and families. We also work with teachers and activists on prison issues. This work includes building action networks and materials that expose human rights violations. |
