Together, we will #BuildCommunitiesNotCages

The Coalition Against Proposed Prisons (CAPP)

Five years ago, the Ford government declared its plan to destroy Kemptville farmland,
located on unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin Anishinaabe Territory, to build a prison.
The community knows the fight isn’t over.

how we’re pushing back and building momentum – and watch our newest video, #NOPE, below…

Together, we can save the farmland in Kemptville, as well as stop other provincial jail infrastructure
from being built elsewhere. No new prisons in any backyard.

Let’s build communities, not cages.
