Read here their invitation to participate in the gathering.
NATION INSIDE: COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES AGAINST MASS INCARCERATION
Are you part of a dedicated grassroots group fighting a campaign against mass incarceration? Are you campaigning against your state privatizing its prisons, the cost of prison phone calls, building immigration detention centers, or making policies that continue a broken and expensive criminal justice system?
Would your campaign benefit from stronger messaging, better communication capacity, and a broader base of support? If so please consider joining us for Nation Inside.
We'll kick off Nation Inside on June 28th with a network gathering of criminal justice reform advocates all across the United States. Nation Inside is a training camp for advocates who are organizing grassroots campaigns for criminal justice reform; who want to participate in an intensive and fun network gathering; and who want to work together to advance our campaigns’ use of communication strategies. We will pick up flip-cams, test our messaging, build our communication capacity, and network with other advocates from across the United States.
