CCWP Volunteer Night

Come help us support women prisoners in California by fighting against inhumane prison conditions, and our unjust criminal justice system at CCWP’s Volunteer Night.

Drawing of two women standing with arms linked, surrounded by the text 'We Must always Stand Together, fearless & unified against any intruder who Tries To take our Lives, our Families, or our Freedom. - Merle Africa, MOVE organization, died in prison 1998'Did you know that:

  • Women represent the fastest growing segment of prison and jail populations?
  • The prison system disproportionately impacts women of color?
  • The Drug War is the largest force behind the 95% increase in female drug arrests between 1985 and 1996?
  • Women prisoners are often survivors of abuse and, once incarcerated, routinely experience sexual harassment?
  • 80% of women prisoners are mothers.
  • That most women prisoners tell us being in contact with people on the outside who care is one of the most powerful gifts they can receive?
