CCWP 30th Anniversary with Angela Davis - October 11th

California Coalition for Women's Prisoners (CCWP) invites all advocates and supporters for a dynamic evening celebrating 30 years of organizing across the walls of women’s prisons, featuring Dr. Angela Davis, who has been foundational to CCWP’s history dating back to 1995.

“CCWP knows how to effectively combine attentiveness to the immediate situation with the best possible long term solutions. This is an important lesson to all of us who want to ensure that abolition is taken seriously, that abolition is strategically approached. Thank you for your phenomenal and consistent leadership spanning three decades.“ - Dr. Angela Davis

Since 1995, CCWP has played a unique role in developing an abolitionist feminist vision that is centered around the voices and power of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people. The organization has continuously visited women’s prisons and jails in California, fought for and won freedom campaigns, and welcomed those returning home into their community and leadership roles within the organization.

Examples of CCWP's activism over the last 30 years:

• Advocated for criminalized survivors of intimate partner violence.
• Forcefully challenged the brutality of prison staff abuse at FCI Dublin and in the state prisons.
• Contributed to the crafting and passing of the landmark Racial Justice Act (RJA) of 2020. 
• Helped to reduce the population of CA women’s prisons from over 12,000 in 2010 to 4,000 today, a 65% decrease, the basis for CCWP's current campaign to close both of the remaining CA women’s prisons.

The anniversary event is scheduled for Saturday, October 11th from 5pm to 8pm PT and is located in the Fellowship Hall of the First Presbyterian Church of Oakland at 2619 Broadway, Oakland CA, 94612.
