Schools Not Prisons

The #SchoolsNotPrisons Tour partners with California communities affected by mass incarceration, advocating for non-violence, youth activism, and voting as pathways to safety and justice. Highlighting issues like overspending on prisons, the breakup of families, and lost opportunities for youth—particularly in communities of color—the tour calls for a shift toward health, education, and investment in young people.

Since 1980, California has built 22 prisons but only one UC campus, underscoring the need for change. Produced by Revolve Impact and supported by The California Endowment and The California Wellness Foundation, the tour unites artists and activists to promote a vision of community safety rooted in equity and opportunity.
