Ashley Diamond is a Black trans woman and prisoners' rights activist. She made national headlines in 2016 for her landmark victory against the Georgia Department of Corrections. Ashley has since been re-imprisoned because of a technical parole violation and is currently incarcerated at Coastal State Prison in Garden City, Georgia. Her situation is urgent-she has faced repeated sexual assault and denial of healthcare, which has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. You can read more about Ashley’s story and find out how to get involved at freeashleydiamond.com.
Alongside the Free Ashley Diamond campaign - an abolitionist, survivor led team, we invite you to join us in calling for Ashley’s release. This will be an exciting and powerful week that brings together organizations and artists from across the country to #FreeAshleyNow.
