We've put together an advocacy guide for folks opposing the Franklin County prison project. It's got some simple but effective action steps that don't take up a lot of time or effort.

Regarding Franklin County: Staff at the Bureau of Legislative Research confirm that the Arkansas Development Finance Authority will lease the 815 acres in Franklin County to the Arkansas Department of Corrections for $1 a year. This won't require legislative approval. #ARpx (1/3)
Good morning Arkansas! We're posted up in the Children and Youth subcommittee, where the Franklin County and River Valley Coalition is making a presentation opposing the construction of a 3000-bed prison. The prison was announced suddenly earlier this year without warning locals.
We knew this would happen under extreme abortion bans. It will happen in Arkansas next.
But for too long, many of our state politicians have been operating in the shadows, prioritizing interests of the wealthy and powerful over interests of the people. They put partisanship and deep-pocket campaign donors ahead of us, the voters.
We’re building a stronger Arkansas by focusing on the things that unite us instead of divide us. You help every time you share our content, sign a petition, contact a legislator, make a donation and most importantly - when you vote.

Arkansas state government is supposed to work for all of us. Let's make it so. We want our elected officials to act right. That’s why we’re here, to keep an eye on them.
