Give a Gift
[link removed]
Dear friend,
My name is Danielle Steele Williams. If you've been following FAMM,
you probably got an email from my son Kendall last year around this
time. He wrote to you on behalf of all children with parents who are
incarcerated to give you a glimpse of what it's like growing up with a
mom or dad behind bars.
Today, I'm writing to you for the families who have been
reunited, thanks to reforms FAMM has championed. I'm asking that
you give a gift to FAMM so they can continue fighting for fairer
prison policies and sentencing laws like the First Step Act.

The First Step Act included a retroactive increase in good time
credit, paving the way for more than 150,000 people - including
my husband, Keith - to get shorter sentences. Three thousand
people were freed immediately. The crack cocaine sentencing law
provision alone eliminated 12,000 years of unnecessary prison time for
2,000 people sentenced to much more time than they deserved.
Just last week, my family and I traveled to Washington, D.C., to join
FAMM in thanking lawmakers who led the effort to pass the bill. It was
the first time we were able to travel as a family.
Keith has been home for nine months now, but I still have surreal
moments all the time. It's the simple things, like having him help me
clean the house and thinking again and again, "I can't believe he's
here." Or, recently, watching Kendall's face light up as his father
stepped out of the car to pick him up from a football game at school.
These moments mean everything to our family, and they're the reason
we'll continue to support FAMM and advocate reform.
So I'm asking again - please give what you can so FAMM can
continue fighting to make families like mine whole again.

Sincerely,
Danielle Steele Williams for FAMM
P.S. FAMM has a generous donor who is matching gifts through the end
of the year. Please give today so your gift will be doubled.
