Dear John xxxxxx,
This past Friday, over 100 guests from all parts of California and across the nation—from Alaska to Florida, from Oregon to North Carolina—joined us live for our first-ever Virtual Fireside Chat. We are excited to announce our next event in the series:
On Friday, March 27th at 12:00pm PT, join special guest, Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer, Chair of the California Assembly’s Public Safety Committee, and host and Executive Director Sam Lewis, to talk about the state response to COVID-19. The two will chat about the safety and health of all people who live and work in prison and will also read letters from individuals currently incarcerated. There will also be a live Q&A session toward the end of the event.

All of us at ARC, along with our allies and advocates, are doing our part to ensure that our community is safe and that vital ARC services—from housing to advocacy to workforce development—proceed uninterrupted.
For details of how our work is adapting under the challenging circumstances of this pandemic, I encourage you to watch the recording of Friday’s Fireside Chat. You will also see my colleagues and I mention a variety of ways that you can help out TODAY:
-
DONATE EMERGENCY SUPPLIES, such as hand sanitizer and cleaning products, to help ensure that our community—both inside and outside prison—remains safe. CONTACT US here.
-
VOLUNTEER for ARC as a mentor or to help us communicate with our incarcerated brothers and sisters. CONTACT US here.
Finally, please share the Virtual Fireside Chat video and invitation to join ARC and Assemblymember Jones-Sawyer this Friday with your friends, family, and colleagues who are also invested in the safety of our communities.
Thank you for being on this journey with us. We hope to see you virtually this Friday!
Sincerely,
Sam Lewis
Executive Director
