Join us for an event! Pass the Prison and Jail Construction Moratorium NOW!
We're so excited to work with you to Pass the Prison and Jail Construction Moratorium Bill and Stop the New Women's Prison! These are critical steps in the larger movement to end the incarceration of women and girls led by Families for Justice as Healing and The National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls. Together, we will make it happen. We have in-person events planned in key districts, virtual events, and campaign work that we can plug you into. Thank you so much and looking forward to seeing you soon!

As Vermont promotes a new prison project framed as “trauma-informed,” designed after Maine’s prison model, and positioned as an economic opportunity, FreeHer VT invites you to a webinar that critically examines these claims.
We’ll hear from public health experts, organizers currently resisting prison construction in their own communities, and formerly incarcerated women from Maine—offering grounded insights into why these narratives often mask ongoing harm. This conversation will unpack how trauma-informed language and promises of job creation are being used across the country to push a new wave of “progressive” incarceration. Join us to hear from our panel of experts and voice your questions during our Q&A!
