WRITE TO RUCHELL’S PAROLE BOARD
Ruchell Magee’s next parole hearing is scheduled for Thursday, July 15th. We need to support him with as many letters of support as possible. Please take a couple of minutes to draft a letter using the guidelines below:

Write a one-page letter to Ruchell’s parole board about your support for Ruchell based on his length of confinement (over 58 years). People have committed horrendous crimes and gotten much less time than Ruchell. Mention that Ruchell was very young when he was arrested and he should be able to enjoy the rest of his life outside of captivity. Add that we as taxpayers pay to keep this elderly man incarcerated instead of in his community, where he could make a positive contribution toward community development.


Address

Board of Parole Hearings
Post Office Box 4036
Sacramento, CA 95812-4036

SIGN THE PETITION to Free Ruchell Magee: https://bit.ly/freeruchell

WRITE THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE Requesting Commutation: https://bit.ly/write4ruchell

58 YEARS BEHIND BARS. NO JUSTICE.

ABOUT THE COALITION

The Coalition to Free Ruchell Magee was founded in 2020 to support the freedom of Ruchell “Cinque” Magee. Ruchell Magee is an 82-year-old political prisoner currently incarcerated in the California Medical Facility. Ruchell has worked as a jailhouse lawyer to help prisoners fight for their freedom. The Coalition is building support to free Ruchell Magee, just like he’s helped other people win their release. Ruchell deserves to be free and spend his remaining time with his loved ones. 58 years is far too long – Free Ruchell Magee!

SUPPORT RUCHELL TODAY!

We are thrilled to announce that yesterday the fin We are thrilled to announce that yesterday the final two Aloft residents, Juilo and Alberto who we asked for the community’s support in advocating for, got a commitment from the State for housing vouchers and the City agreed to bridge them in a hotel like everyone else!! This means that NO Aloft resident was kicked to the shelters or streets due to the closure!! This is a huge testament to what is possible when everyone comes together toward a housing goal and puts their resources toward housing!
