On July 6, 2020, the National Lawyers Guild – SF Bay Area launched a free Know Your Rights Hotline for anyone who would like to discuss the coronavirus or conditions inside Santa Rita Jail. This number can accept calls from jail as well as from community members who are formerly-incarcerated or who have loved ones inside the jail. The hotline will be staffed by legal workers and community members who have been trained in jail policies, individual advocacy, and the history of prisoner solidarity movements.
If you are interested in becoming a hotline worker, please fill out this volunteer form! Please email srjhotline@nlgsf.org for more information or to request that a postcard be mailed to a prisoner. |
