TODAY at Regions Bank! Alabama Students Against Prisons calls for Regions Bank to STOP funding mega-prisons in Alabama! Hear from ASAP about their concerns at the downtown Birmingham location (1900 5th Ave N) from 7-9 AM and 11AM-1PM. The main protest will take place from 4-6PM.

Private prison corporations are poised to rake in at least $2.6 billion in #Alabama tax dollars from Governor Kay Ivey's backroom deal. Imagine what that kind of money could do for our state if it wasn't being wasted on expanding mass incarceration? #nonewprisons

CoreCivic, a private prison company, will break ground in Alabama next year. Regions Bank is funding the effort, and now members of Alabama Students Against Prisons are calling them out. cw.ua.edu/72765/news/ala…

The new prisons proposed for #Alabama are supposedly meant to address overcrowding, but Alabama Department of Corrections admits that even the new prisons would be overcrowded on DAY ONE. We need to release people from our overcrowded prisons, not build new ones. #nonewprisons

JOIN US IN A CARAVAN FOR JUSTICE. Saturday, March 27, in Montgomery. Alabama's elected officials need to know that we demand better, and that we're not going anywhere. #alpolitics You can find the Facebook Event here: facebook.com/events/4798372…

ACTION: Big banks are trying to raise money around the world to build private prisons in rural Alabama. Use this platform to tell these investors that we don't want their prisons! actionnetwork.org/letters/action…

One bank, Stifel, has yet to make a formal statement on their funding for CoreCivic’s prison construction project in Alabama. The other 2 banks, KeyBank and Barclays, have backed out of the deal- tell Stifel to do the same! #nofundingforprisons actionnetwork.org/letters/action…

ACTION ALERT: PHONE ZAP We need your help tomorrow 4/22 to let the 1 remaining bank know they're gonna hear from us until they back out of this deal. Funding incarceration is just wrong and we won't tolerate it! #nomoreprisons fb.me/e/3FxhVXHAY

3 funders down, 1 more to go! Check out this phone zap to tell Stifel bank they're on the wrong side fb.me/e/3FxhVXHAY #nomoreprisons

Leslie Ogburn, a homeowner near the proposed prison site, and prisoner rights activist Rev. Kenny Glasgow, along with the state auditor and an Alabama legislator, have filed a lawsuit against Gov. Ivey for signing prison leases without proper approval. al.com/news/2021/04/a…

We asked Stifel's CEO and board to withdraw from facilitating the construction of massive new prisons in Alabama. Unfortunately, they still have not done so. We invite you to make that request alongside us by sending them an email using this link! actionnetwork.org/letters/action…

We're glad to have SURJ as a coalition partner. To get involved with racial justice work in Alabama, you can join the SURJ Alabama monthly meeting THIS EVENING. You can register for that one, and all future SURJ Alabama meetings here. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Gov. Ivey hasn't given up on new prisons. We have to get the word out to Alabamians across the state to contact their leaders and demand alternatives to more incarceration. Phone bank (every other Tuesday): signupgenius.com/go/10c0e49a4ae… Canvass: signupgenius.com/go/10c0e49a4ae…

The primary reason AL is facing a crisis in its prisons, a lawsuit from the DOJ, and a continuous cycle of Alabamians who have been destabilized is because the Legislature continues to ignore root causes of crime and violence. alabamasmartjustice.org/reports/2021-s… alabamasmartjustice.org/reports/2021-s…

We defeated the first plan and we'll take down every plan they throw at us because we deserve better than mass incarceration. Create more humane conditions within the prisons while decreasing the prison population. Now that's a plan worth funding! aldailynews.com/ivey-encourage…

Even the federal government knows that the state's recently approved plan for prison construction will not address the real issues of abuse and neglect within Alabama prisons. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%… #NoMorePrisons #nonewprisons #AmericanRescuePlan #covidrelief

New prisons will not keep us safe, inside or outside of them. Think of how much good the ARP funds could do if allocated to schools, healthcare, housing, etc. Let's not waste them. mobile.twitter.com/nowthisnews/st… #nonewprisons #classroomsnotcages
