Mass incarceration is state violence.
In the face of the brutal torture and lynching of Robert Brooks, Messiah Nantwi, and so many of our loved ones, we say: NO MORE.
We refuse to look away or be silent as racist and unjust sentencing laws tear families apart and warehouse our people in places built to disappear them.
Cages don’t create safety. But we know what does.
On January 26, join #CommunitiesNotCages for our FIRST 2026 Advocacy Day as we transform our grief and rage into collective power. We’ve got a blow-out day with a rally, press conference, meetings with lawmakers, music, and creative actions - and we need you there.
Over 30,000 people are incarcerated in New York's prisons. 3 out of 4 are Black or brown.
Join us for local rallies and press conferences across the state to support transformation and bring our loved ones home.
