Two weeks ago, several organizations across the state partnered to launch The People's Campaign for Parole Justice. Now, with the legislature in full swing, we demand the passage of Elder Parole and Fair and Timely Parole to free our elders and bring justice to the parole process.
On Wednesday, January 27, several faith institutions and community organizations are collaborating on the Parole Justice Virtual Advocacy Day. There will be events, actions and meetings throughout the day (all digital) and Riverside members are invited to join for whatever portion you can.
You can register to participate in the advocacy day here or by clicking the green button below. Also, for those who are interested in learning more about the proposed legislation beforehand, there will be a special training held tonight, January 25, from 6-7pm and you can RSVP for the training by using the same link.
Thanks to the amazing work of our partners at the
