Attention all UC Riverside students! PLEASE READ!! The U.S. has 5% of the world’s population but 25% of the world’s prison population! More than 60% of those in U.S. prisons are Black or Latina/o. 32% of Black men between the ages of 20 and 29 are in prison or on parole or probation on any given day. Alongside this has risen a massive program of criminally prosecuting undocumented immigrants, essentially hidden from public view. There are genocidal aspects and a genocidal logic to this program, and it has been gathering momentum. All this is intolerable, and, if it isn’t stopped, it will get much worse! This cancer of mass incarceration has been, from the beginning, nothing but a new Jim Crow in place of the old one. This must stop – NOW! If you live your life under this threat, you MUST act. If you understand how wrong this is and how much it devastates the lives of so many millions, you MUST act. We call for a massive Month of Resistance to Mass Incarceration in October of this year; a Month that can impact all of society; one that can open the eyes of millions of people to the need to end this new Jim Crow. PLEASE GET INVOLVED AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS MASSIVE MOVEMENT BY LIKING THE PAGE UCR Resistance to Mass Incarceration By liking this page, you will receive updates and information on how you can get involved here at our campus!
