There’s no
doubt it's been a hot, humid summer. Temperatures are rising. Climate
change is rearing its ugly head.

Now think about the fact that almost two million people have no way to
escape the heat.

Temperatures in prisons can exceed 150℉ — yet many prisons have no air
conditioning or proper ventilation. That’s not only dangerous, it’s
dehumanizing to sentence someone to live in those conditions. And in some
cases, it’s costing people their lives — just last month, a woman
incarcerated in California collapsed due to the boiling heat.

People who are incarcerated deserve the same dignity, humanity, and
respect as anyone — that includes a safe living environment with clean
air, water, and protection from rising temperatures.

That’s why I’m proud to partner with Senator Ed Markey on the
Environmental Health in Prisons Act, the first step in addressing
environmental injustices in our prisons. This legislation is rooted in the
experience and pain of those most impacted by our carceral system. As we
work to dismantle our shameful mass incarceration crisis, this bill would
affirm the fundamental right to a safe and healthy environment for every
person behind the wall.

now to support the Environmental Health in Prisons Act, because every
human deserves environmental justice, and this bill can bring us one step
closer to that reality.

ADD YOUR NAME

Let’s act with humanity.

Onwards,

Ayanna
