Democracy is more than what happens on November 5. It’s about who has a say in all the choices that shape our lives. If someone wants to build a super-prison with our tax dollars (see below) we should get a say. The people who have experienced our broken criminal justice system or climate chaos are uniquely qualified to build something better. It’s why DEI is important: diverse voices mean better democracy and better decisions. Bringing people together across divides not only strengthens our democracy – but it is also the only thing that guarantees the future we create will be a future that works for all of us.

In solidarity,

Imagine this: Your hard-earned money is funding the most expensive federal prison in U.S. history, but you’re not allowed to have a say in it. Well, that’s exactly what U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers wants.

He’s secretly slipped a provision called Section 223 into the 2025 House Appropriations Act, and if it goes through, you could be silenced in the decision-making process for the ginormous $505 million federal prison in Letcher County, Kentucky. This provision bars anyone outside of Eastern Kentucky from taking legal action against this — a project funded by your tax dollars. Sign our petition to end Rep. Rogers’ sneaky Section 223!

Don’t settle for more time-wasting! Click below to see if your senators support moving us toward a renewable future. If they haven’t spoken up yet, tell them it’s time to break the silence and push our clean energy economy forward!
