In joining together in this event, Bay Area Stop Mass Incarceration Network, Bay Area Black Lives Matter and Trans Lives Matter, we intend to make our fight stronger and more united.

The press conference will feature Jidenna, Janelle Monae, Wondaland artists, and an organizer with the Stop Mass Incarceration Network. As part of strengthening this effort, Wondaland artists will perform their new protest song, “Hell You Talm Bout”, and then, an interactive community action.
