Content Warning: This email discusses death
Andrea Circle Bear should still be alive — holding her newborn baby in her
arms. But instead, she died in prison on Tuesday in Fort Worth, Texas due
to COVID-19.
Andrea’s story is all too familiar — trapped in prison during a global
pandemic because of systemic inequities and the failed war on drugs. That
she was in prison at all was cruel and negligent.
The COVID-19 crisis is reaching catastrophic levels in our jails and
prisons. Every day the Federal Bureau of Prisons refuses to act and pursue
decarceration is another day they are putting lives at risk.
I am demanding that the Federal Bureau of Prisons takes immediate action
to decarcerate and release folks who pose no threat to public safety.
COVID-19 must not be a death sentence for those behind the wall.

will hold them accountable.

Our criminal injustice system is draconian, xenophobic, and fundamentally
broken. Overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in our federal facilities,
and an uneven ability to provide critical medical care, have long left
those behind the wall especially vulnerable to infectious diseases like
COVID-19.
[ [link removed] ]We need decarceration and we need it now. People who are incarcerated
cannot be overlooked during this crisis. Add your name now to join me in
calling on the Federal Bureau of Prisons to immediately decarcerate its
facilities.
Thank you for making your voice heard,
Ayanna Pressley
