Environmental Justice and the Fight Against the Prison Industrial Complex

Join the Community Water Center (Visalia), Critical Resistance and Bay Area Environmental Justice organizations for a conversation about linking our struggles for healthy communities

The movement for environmental justice (EJ) and to abolish the prison-industrial complex (PIC) have historically converged in powerful organizing moments, such as the fight against the Delano 2 prison.  Framing prisons as issues of environmental justice - polluting, unhealthy facilities for those in them and those around them - has been useful in connecting urban-rural anti-prison forces.

The Community Water Center uses education, organizing, advocacy and legal assistance to create community-based solutions to drinking water problems in California's San Joaquin Valley.  Critical Resistance is a national grassroots organization building a movement to abolish the prison-industrial complex.

This event is one of hundreds around the country in preparation for CR 10: a weekend of strategy and celebration for the movement to end the prison-industrial complex.  Mark your calendars and register now for CR10.  Call 510-444-0484 ext. 2; or visit www.criticalresistance.org
