Let's End Remaining California State Funding for the Geo Group
Sign our petition re: Geo Group still getting state contracts.
Please sign this petition our government contracts campaign committee wrote up to pressure govenor newsome to cancel all remaining contracts with Geo Group one of the worst private prisons in the state.
As members of the Northeast Los Angeles Alliance for Democracy and as Californians, we call on you to terminate remaining state grants and contracts with the Geo Group, a private operator of ICE detention centers in California and of private prisons around the
nation. While we are aware that through your efforts the state has
ended its contracts with Geo Group to operate state prisons, we are concerned that the Geo Group continues to receive state funds from the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation and the Division of Adult Parole Operations. These agencies continue to provide funds to the company to operate re-entry facilities in 18 California counties, including San Francisco, and to provide criminal justice system services, such as tracking accused perpetrators out on bond and parolees with ankle bracelets and other hardware Geo Group manufactures.

National and Online Events & Actions
The State of the People POWER Tour came to Los Angeles June 6-7, 2025
Went to 12 cities across the country to rally, restore, and reimagine what’s possible for Black communities
The State of the People POWER Tour is a nationwide call to action; a movement to rally, restore, and reimagine what’s possible for Black communities across the U.S. Through powerful gatherings in cities across the country, we aim to activate a grassroots movement that amplifies Black voices, demands systemic change, and advances a national collective Black agenda rooted in justice and liberation – building toward the State of the People International Assembly on Juneteenth. This tour exists at the intersection of healing, resistance, and mobilization – recognizing both the urgency and power of our collective voice.
Sign up for the Rise For Freedom Trainings to learn about mutual aid, how to make political violence backfire, and strategy for blocking the Trump coup. Meetings are Thursday evenings from 5-7 pm PST, every Thursday until May 15.
