Women Who Never Giver Up in collaboration with the National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls invites you to join us for the first in a series of town hall style meetings for the sharing of information, ideas and solutions. At this meeting we will be discussing the “Dignity for Incarcerated Primary Caretaker Parents Act” (Assembly Bill #3979) with the sponsors of the bill, Assemblywoman Yvonne Lopez and Assemblywoman Valeria Huttle. The purpose of this Bill is to focus on incarcerated parents in NJ State and county correctional facilities who are primary caretakers of children and provide these parents with the protections they deserve. 60% of all women incarcerated in the United States are the mothers of children under the age of 18.
