Dear friend,

Will you please take one minute to call your representative in support
of the REAL Act?

Call 1-844-899-8819
tel:1-844-899-8819

College education for incarcerated students makes our prisons and
communities safer, and would likely reduce spending on prisons. That's
why FAMM believes that we need to end the current ban on Pell Grants
for incarcerated students.

Thankfully, there is a bipartisan bill in Congress - the REAL
Act (H.R. 2168/S. 1074) - that would restore Pell Grant
eligibility to incarcerated students in state and federal facilities,
allowing motivated people to seek self-improvement through a college
education.

Members of Congress have started to prioritize this issue and are
working on restoration through a few avenues. The College
Affordability Act (H.R. 4674) is being considered in the House of
Representatives, and it includes a provision to restore Pell Grant
eligibility. Last week, the House considered amendments for the bill,
and a bipartisan group chose to preserve Pell Grant restoration
without changes.

Help us keep momentum to end the ban on Pell Grants! Call
1-844-899-8819 to be directed to your member of Congress, and urge
them to support and cosponsor the REAL Act (H.R. 2168/S. 1074) and
restore funding for incarcerated college students.

Call 1-844-899-8819
tel:1-844-899-8819

Best,

Molly Gill
Vice President of Policy, FAMM
