Services – Not Cells

April 15, 2017 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Join us in taking a stand against using Contra Costa County general and reserve funds to expand the West County Detention Center. The funds raised by County taxpayers should be used for job trainings, infrastructure improvements, youth services, and healthcare expansion, not building a larger jail.

What: Services Not Cells Kickoff

When: Saturday, April 15th 11am-12:30pm

Where: Richmond Recreation Complex

Contra Costa County Sheriff Livingston receives millions of dollars in funding each year because he coordinates with ICE. In today’s political climate, we must take a stand to protect our immigrant neighbors and refuse to continue the devastating cycle of mass incarceration.

Join our campaign to promote Services Not Cells in Contra Costa County @ServicesNotCellsinCoCo

Our next CCCRJC is on April 12th, 6:30pm at 1000 MacDonald Ave., Richmond Ca
