Take Action

 

 

In 2015 we defeated a proposed jail in San Francisco. Now, let’s close 850 Bryant and create the policies and resources our SF communities need to truly thrive.

Join us: Fight AGAINST Criminalization & FOR Strong, Healthy Communities!

Ways to get involved include:

  • Call, email and/or meet with your district’s Supervisor to support legislation to close 850 Bryant permanently. Join & spread our Social Media Storm on 4-15-20
  • Sign your organization up on our contact list to be informed on updates & to support upcoming actions (such as our #ShutDown850 Sign-on Letter & our more recent sign-on letter to Protect Prisoners against COVID-19). Screen Shot 2020-04-11 at 12.20.36 PM
  • Host a townhall or community event for your organization or the surrounding neighborhood & urge your Supervisors to close 850 Bryant
  • Print out or forward our #ShutDown850 factsheets and flyers & distribute them to your organization, restaurant, business, housing collective or community groups.
  • Request a presentation on the harms of SF’s jail expansion & 850 Bryant for your community or organization
  • Write an OpEd or Letter to the Editor
  • Join us for Jail Outreach to support prisoners and families on Saturdays
  • Share your or your loved one’s story of how being imprisoned at 850 Bryant or any of SF’s jails impacted you & your community with the coalition
