Hey Friend,Â
Electronic Monitoring (EM) is rapidly expanding in the United States and the pandemic has only exacerbated the use of ankle monitors.Â
Join us for the launch of a new digital organizing hub, Unshackling Freedom, to fight the harmful use of EM and all kinds of e-carceration.
Date:Â April 28, 2022
Time:Â 6:30pm ET
RSVP:Â bit.ly/emlaunch42822Â
Guest speakers include:
- James Kilgore, author of Understanding E-Carceration
- Emmett Sanders, Project Researcher for Challenging E-Carceration
- Briana Payton, Chicago Community Bail Fund
- Ambrose Brooks S, Dignity and Power Now
- Julie Mao, Just Futures Law
Our demand is clear: we aren’t looking to reform EM, we’re looking to abolish it as a part of the struggle to end mass incarceration.Â
Join us for the launch of #UnshacklingFreedom: a digital home to everything you need to design, organize, launch, and win a campaign to ban or block Electronic Monitoring in YOUR community.Â
With background information and a step-by-step campaign design guide, we can build the power we need to make change.Â

In Solidarity,Â

Director, Challenging E-Carceration Project at MediaJustice
