There are many ways to help us. We need anybody and everybody. The types of things we need help with are as follows:

• We need people to help us at demonstrations.
• We need people to hand out information to the public.
• We need people to call organizations and lobbyists.
• We need people to help gather signatures for petitions.
• We need help contacting 3-Strike prisoners.
• We need help in staying in contact with the public defenders office.
• We need help in calling politicians.
• We need help in gathering information.
• We need help in contacting the news media.
• We need help in writing letters to the editors of the news media.
• We need help in gathering 3-Strike stories.
• We need help in other miscellaneous areas.

Use our forms for prisoner stories, petitions, letters to politicians, and resolutions for organizations.

Write your State Senator and Assemblyperson listed in the "Government Officials" section of your phone book. Write your county's District Attorney and tell them that prosecuting minor offenses as 3-Strikes does not benefit the residents of your county but rehabilitation and treatment will.

Prisoners: Insist that your family and friends participate. Please pass this information along to as many people as possible.
