To: Sacramento Regional Transit Board of Directors

   Because G4S, the world’s largest private security company, is complicit in and profiting from well-documented violations of human rights and other international laws, we the undersigned ask that you: 1) not extend Sacramento Regional Transit’s current contract with G4S, allowing it to expire on June 30, 2016; 2) develop criteria to be included in Request For Proposals (RFP) for the next contract to exclude companies that are involved in human rights violations; and 3) do not award G4S another contract if they are still engaged or complicit in violations of human rights and international law.

   We add our voices to the letter that you have received from local organizations and individuals and to others around the world who are calling on G4S to reform its business practices and have refused to do business with them until they do.

    The “Prisons for Profit” Industry is a vile corporation that does not seek to rehabilitate prisoners but it is only there for money. They exacerbate criminality instead of curing it, because they are a criminal organization themselves.

    Nasty corporation, greedy. The atrocities inflicted on Palestinian prisoners in Israel for profit is inhuman and disgusting, How could you work with such a corporation. A company that makes money running private prisons does not belong in Sacramento. Cut the ties.

    This is not a cop-out issue for RT. It directly involves safety on our rails. The Palestinian occupation is one of the major “bones of contention” in middle eastern conflicts. Every length of track is vulnerable to a crazy (or non-crazy) IS sympathizer who has had a relative killed by us “anti-terrorist” westerners. If G4S doesn’t lose the contract, pressure to clean up their human right record is still an RT responsibility.
