Tell Governor Raimondo and our legislators to KNOCK IT OFF! Stop funding prisons and police! Stop feeding people into the prison system and profiting off them! Decarcerate and stop torturing people at the ACI! Start redistributing resources to heal Black and brown communities who have been devastated by mass criminalization!
Join us in solidarity with those who have lost their lives to racist police violence and mass incarceration. Let our loved ones at the ACI know that they are remembered and held close at this time. As the national conversation around police violence unfolds, we must shine a light on the violence happening behind the walls, too. Decarceration, divestment, and abolition of prisons is inseparable from the work of dismantling police.
We will be distributing masks and encouraging social distancing. RIDOH is now offering testing for anybody who has participated in a protest, whether or not you have symptoms.
