John, we’re making progress on prison phone justice — and we have an important update:
You, along with thousands of other Color Of Change members, have previously taken action on phone justice. Thank you for staying in the fight with us — and our organizing efforts are seeing real results.
Over the past few weeks — as Color Of Change and our coalition partners have ramped up outreach — more House members, including Rep. Ayanna Pressley, have become the newest co-sponsors of the Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act. Big news!
TWEET NOW: THANK NEW PHONE JUSTICE CO-SPONSORS
John, this is a positive development to move this vital legislation forward. The more attention we bring to phone justice, the more co-sponsors we win, the better chance this legislation has to pass.
Passing the Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act would give the FCC more authority to regulate predatory prison telecom companies — which would reduce the financial harm Black families are experiencing every time they call an incarcerated family member.
THANK YOU FOR FIGHTing TO KEEP FAMILIES CONNECTED
The fight for prison phone justice will continue over the next few weeks and months. The Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act MUST pass Congress before the mid-terms — and we must provide the financial relief that these families deserve NOW.
John, while we thank new co-sponsors now, we still need to keep up the pressure and get the Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act signed into law.
There is more work ahead. Thank you for staying in the fight.
Until Justice is Real,
The Color Of Change Criminal Justice & Democracy Team
Color Of Change is building a movement to elevate the voices of Black folks and our allies, and win real social and political change. Please help keep our movement strong.
