Alabama Students Against Prisons

Organizing tomorrow’s leaders to combat the racialized systems that perpetuate Alabama’s prison crisis.

[Alabama Students Against Prisons @alagainstprison]

URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Join ASAP in Bham on Mon. to rally against new prison construction in our state. As the federal government strips away our rights, AL’s state legislature continues to profit off incarceration. Logistical details and phone zap information incoming.

[Both Sides of the Wall @BSW_Advocacy]

This is how they abuse and use excessive force on suicidal and mental health issues in the ADOC!!! Please Share…

@askRegions @randallwoodfin @TWG2022 Y'all clearly aren't worried about the thousands of Alabamians who will be subjected to brutally inhumane conditions in the prisons that are going to be built... #bankonregions #regionscares

[Presente.Org @PresenteOrg]

.@WellsFargo @RaymondJames @askRegions it's time you pull out of this deal & commit to not investing in mass incarceration. New prison construction in #Alabama has been a moral & financial failure from the beginning. #NoMorePrisons @CommsNotPrisons

@Stephens_Inc @TICapitalism We are calling on you to stop the spread of Mass Incarceration by stopping fiscal contributions to the plan to build 2 mega prisons in the state of AL #mystephensstory #thisiscapitalism

[Alabama Students Against Prisons @alagainstprison]

@RaymondJames The queer community is disproportionately incarcerated compared to cis/straight individuals, so instead of just putting some flags up and tweeting, support the queer community by not financially supporting a plan to build more mega prisons. #RJcares

[Alabama Students Against Prisons @alagainstprison]

@RaymondJames @artyouhungry If you really support the black community do not financially contribute to a prison plan that will disproportionately affect them. #RJcares @TashElwynRJ @LarryAdamRJ @ScottCurtisRJ @MikeWhiteRJ

[Alabama Students Against Prisons @alagainstprison]

@askRegions Yet you contribute to a prison plan that will disproportionately affect queer individuals #bankonregions

[Alabama Students Against Prisons @alagainstprison]

@askRegions This is ironic considering you're helping to fund a prison plan that will contribute to the mass incarceration of primarily black and brown individuals.

[Alabama Students Against Prisons @alagainstprison]

@kayiveyforgov So you care about the lives of unborn fetuses but not the lives of the thousands of incarcerated individuals who will be affected by your prison plan?

[Alabama Students Against Prisons @alagainstprison]

Abortion bans disproportionately affect uterus owners of color. As Roe is overturned and the AL abortion ban injunction is lifted, @askRegions @Stephens_Inc @RaymondJames @kayiveyforgov continue the mass incarceration of POCs through a plan to build 2 new mega prisons in AL

[andreaFreeHerjames @andreacjames]

The dialogue needs to expand beyond the right to choose to have an abortion, to understand when we ignore prison sentences that bury black & poor women in prisons, that also is a reproductive injustice as it takes away their choice to have children.

[Beth Shelburne @bshelburne]

Despite outrage across the world about his LWOP sentence for a $9 robbery, Alabama lawmakers have done nothing to fix the habitual offender law & cases like Willie Simmons, yet Willie still writes me sometimes just to tell me thanks for exposing his case 2 years ago. -1
