Exciting news, John:

Color Of Change published an ad in The Washington Post on Sunday urging Congress to pass the Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act! Check it out:

Color Of Change and our phone justice coalition partners have been pushing Congress for years to pass vital legislation that will give the Federal Communications Commission greater authority to regulate predatory prison and jail telecom corporations. These corporations charge families with incarcerated loved ones as much as $1 a minute. That is cruel and unconscionable. 

John, this is why we need your help to demand that more members of the U.S. House of Representatives co-sponsor the Martha Wright bill.

SIGN THE PETITION: FIGHT TO KEEP FAMILIES CONNECTED

Thanks to pressure from Color Of Change members like you and the hard work from phone justice organizers, the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee unanimously passed phone justice legislation out of committee. The bill also has 30 co-sponsors in the House. John, we have to keep up the pressure to pass this bill.

With midterm elections coming up in November and so many families suffering financially from corporate price-gouging tactics, the time to act is NOW. That’s why we took out this ad in The Washington Post and why we have to keep contacting members of Congress about this issue.

John, with the House back in session now, the next few weeks are make or break for this phone justice bill. Tell your congressional representative to co-sponsor the Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act NOW so we can pass this into law.

DEMAND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE FIGHT
FOR PHONE JUSTICE

Let’s be clear: John, no family should have to choose between putting food on the table or speaking with their incarcerated loved one.

And we’ll keep fighting for phone justice so families can stay connected. We hope you will join us in this fight.

Until Justice Is Real,

Sakira Cook, Co-Interim Vice President
