John,

We just received great news to provide us all with a glimmer of hope!
Since the outbreak of COVID, we knew we had to fight hard for incarcerated
people because our elected leaders failed to make a humane plan to address
those who would be hardest hit. 

So we decided to launch our fight.

Thousands of Color Of Change members joined us in pushing to make all
communication free of charge for incarcerated people and their families
during this crisis, and forever. As of last week, people incarcerated at
federal prisons have finally been granted free phone calls during the
pandemic, up to 500 minutes a month. Before we launched our campaign and
more than 18,000 people signed our petition, many incarcerated folks were
only given two fifteen-minute free calls per week, some received even
less.

This is what’s possible when we unabashedly fight for those most impacted,
in the face of elected leaders who show indifference for incarcerated
people. We win and keep families connected!

But John, we know we have much more to do to ensure ALL
incarcerated people receive the humane response needed to ensure their
wellbeing. Here is what we need you to do to continue fighting with us:

  1. [ [link removed] ]Share the petition with your friends and family demanding elected
leaders grant ALL incarcerated people with free calls. This includes state
prisons, county jails, and all detention centers.

  2. [ [link removed] ]Start or join a local campaign and demand your elected leaders
implement a humane plan for incarcerated people. We need mass releases and
an end to the constant churn of people in and out of facilities across the
country.

Until justice is real,

Scott, Rashad, Arisha, Clarise, Erika, Malachi, Leonard, Marybeth,
Madison, and the rest of the Color Of Change team
