Join Galentine's Day!
Thursday, February 13, 2025 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM ET
MA State House, 24 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02133
Join Families for Justice as Healing's annual rally to send love to incarcerated women and advocate for their legislative priorities at the Massachusetts State House. Galentine's Day, the day before Valentine's Day, has become a celebration of women in leadership in the Massachusetts state government, and we are going to remind our leaders that their solidarity must extend to incarcerated women. We do not need a new women's prison! We need a moratorium on prison construction. We need new ways to let women out of prison and ensure they are not incarcerated in the first place. We need to reimagine our communities so there is less harm and more abundance.
You can also take action to support FJAH's new bills, watch the recording of their campaign kick off, and sign Pat Olsen's clemency petition.
