The Coalition Against Proposed Prisons is a grassroots collective of Ontario residents and organizations opposing the construction of new provincial jails.
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.

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.
