3. Sign and Circulate Our Prison Closure Petition
[link removed]
Join us and Californians United for a Responsible Budget in our #CloseCAPrisons campaign to demand that Governor Newsom close at least 5 more state prisons, starting with CRC Norco. Our state can save $1.5 billion in ongoing operational cost savings, plus billions more in infrastructure costs, all while reinvesting in our communities.

Phone Line Volunteers needed: Support CR’s prisoner correspondence!
CR is looking for new volunteers to take on 1-2 shifts per month for our Prisoner Solidarity Phone Line program! ([link removed]) Through phone calls with imprisoned people, CR strives to foster strong political relationships with people in cages to break cycles of isolation, stay informed on conditions inside, connect people inside with CR's work and campaigns, and to ensure that our work is grounded in the vision and needs of those most impacted by the prison industrial complex.
Reach out to
