Merchants Plaza, Bangor ME

09 June, 2021

Description

Join us on June 9 (Rain date June 10) from 12 -2 PM in Pickering Square, downtown Bangor, between the parking garage and 1 Merchants Plaza. We'll hear what it's REALLY like to be inside Penobscot County Jail, share portraits by Maine artists from the Penobscot County Jail Storytelling Project, and lay out our #Big3 plan for Penobscot County's American Rescue Plan money. Be part of the change that's happening all across the country as we demand our county and state shift its priorities from the failed drug war, policing, jails and prisons to dignity, freedom and healing! Share with your networks and make a plan to show up for #CareNotCages on June 9! Hosted by No Penobscot County Jail Expansion, National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls, Health Equity Alliance and Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition. A free and delicious lunch will be served.
