DRCNet has started a special new e-mail list to support the work of the Jubilee Justice 2000 campaign and other efforts to free drug war prisoners. JUBILEE-INFO is a one way announcement list -- similar to the DRC-NATL list that carries the Week Online in that it is not a discussion group but only carries announcements that DRCNet distributes -- but which is intended for people who want to get more information and action alerts on prison/ incarceration issues, without having to wait until the end of the week to read them in the Week Online.

Please visit http://www.drcnet.org/jubilee-signup/ to subscribe, and please visit http://www.drcnet.org/justice/ to send an e-mail or fax to Congress opposing mandatory minimum sentencing and the war on drugs.
