[ [link removed] ]chip in $5 to keep people home and out of prison
John, thousands of people who were released from prison to home
confinement during the pandemic, and have been reconnecting with their
families and friends, are now at threat of being re-incarcerated because
of a Trump-era legal memo.
These are elderly people in poor health - mothers, fathers, grandparents,
children, community members - who are now spending home confinement
supporting loved ones financially and emotionally.
And unless we push Attorney General Merrick Garland to intervene, they
will be once again ripped from their homes after the administration
declares the pandemic over.
[ [link removed] ]Can we count on you to support our work to run campaigns that call on
the Department of Justice to keep 4,500 people home where they belong?
[ [link removed] ]yes, let's Keep them home!
John, keeping our elders out of prison is essential to our
fight to end the mass incarceration of Black communities.
That’s why we were relieved to learn last year that the Bureau of Prisons
(BOP) would be releasing 7,000 incarcerated individuals at risk of
Covid-19 to home confinement.^1
Despite the 99.9% success rate of the home confinement program, people
will be forced to return to federal prison and pay their own way
back.^2 Unless we move the DOJ to action.
John, we know you're committed to the fight for justice and
ending mass incarceration that plagues Black communities. [ [link removed] ]We need your
support now to fight for those who need us.

This is clearly about punishment, not public safety. People will always
have a better chance at staying safe and healthy when they are at home
with their communities.
[ [link removed] ]So, if your budget allows it, support our campaign and continue
showing up for Black lives.
