Students Against Mass Incarceration - UCSD

A student organization at UCSD seeking to educate the campus about mass incarceration and the prison industrial complex as a form of institutionalized racism.

This student organization seeks to educate the campus about mass incarceration (the Prison Industrial Complex) as a form of institutionalized racism. To do so, the group will provide a space to cultivate a culture of undergraduate student activism against the injustice in the U.S. prison system and cooperate with faculty and graduate students to spread awareness primarily through screenings, speakers, panels, campaigns, and direct networking with key people working in this arena.

Let’s get educated! 📚 Join BSU and AOUON and SAMI for our voter education event where we will be learning about the voting process with an emphasis on prop 6 and prop 36. 🗣️ Read down below for more information about the propositions and I hope to see you there 🫂 Refreshments will be provided! 🧃🍔

🗓️Date: Wednesday, Oct 30th, 2024

🕕Time: 6:30PM - 8:00PM

🏠Place: @ The Cross Cultural Center

Information on propositions:
Prop 6: Although our ultimate fight is for the complete abolition of the prison system, there are reforms that we can struggle for on the path towards that goal. ✊🏾
Proposition 6 abolishes slavery in California AND it enhances public safety and reduces recidivism by prioritizing rehabilitation, leading to significant cost savings for taxpayers. 👋🏾Currently, California taxpayers pay $132,000 per year to incarcerate one person.

Prop 36: Proposition 36 seeks to reinstate harsher penalties for certain petty crimes, aiming to undo the changes made by Prop 47. Voting NO on Prop 36 helps prevent certain nonviolent offenses from being classified as felonies. 🗣️Prop 36 exploits valid community concerns and provides a false, harmful solution. Moreover, Prop 36 would take away approximately $750 MILLION from drug treatment, rehabilitation and victim services. 🙂‍↔️
