John,
April celebrates both Earth Month and Second Chance Month, we’d be doing a huge disservice to one if we did not talk about the other. It's time we start thinking of these as one movement, as opposed to separate ones, to truly give our planet and people a second chance at a healthier and safer life. That’s why, today we are talking about the environmental plight of those often overlooked in the green movement: our prison population.
All too often, the prison population is overlooked in the climate change movement, despite dealing with extreme conditions that are literally killing them. We invite you to learn more about extreme heat in prisons and the opportunity to combat these human rights issues in our latest article.
Learn More About the Inhumane Work Conditions.
Then sign our petition to demand essential programs to protect prisons from extreme heat that can simultaneously support second-chance employment for our most vulnerable.
Sign Now: End Inhumane Climate Conditions in Prisons!
Let's honor Earth Month and Second Chance Month by fighting for those who are doubly disadvantaged by the environmental and justice systems.
In solidarity,
— The Justice Team at Dream.Org
