As part of our campaign to close California's most notorious youth prison -- Chad -- we have declared today and tomorrow (9/26 & 9/27) to be statewide "Call Arnold" Days! We need everyone to call Governor Schwarzenegger and tell him to close the Chad youth prison immediately. Then -- we need you to get 10 of your friends to call him too! It will take no more than 10 minutes -- please join the action!
California's top officials have reached consensus: Chad is a horrible place for youth. Three youth have died in Chad since 2004. Chad guards were caught on tape beating youth. Youth are locked in prison cells, many for 23 hours a day. Even the Inspector General declared Chad to be extremely dangerous for youth and staff. But officials are still scared to close it down.
What they don't realize is that thousands and thousands of people across the state know Chad is horrible and want it closed today. We need to show the Governor just how many people out there care.
Tell Arnold: Closing Chad now is what a real action hero would do. Here's how to do it:
1. Dial: 916-445-2841.
2. Press 5 for hot issues.
3. Stay on hold. It might be a while. Thank you for being patient.
4. A staff person will answer the phone. Tell Arnold's staffer:
"My name is [your name]. I am from [your town or city]. Please tell Governor Schwarzenegger that I am calling to urge him to close Chad today. The Chad youth prison is abusive, unsafe, and a serious waste of money. Youth leave damaged and unprepared, if they leave at all. Close it down before another youth dies. Invest in real rehabilitation and make our juvenile justice system a system that helps youth instead of harms them."
5. Tell 10 friends to call today. Please forward this e-mail!
Thanks for making a difference for California's youth!
Sincerely,
Lenore Anderson
