John,
Big win in Pennsylvania this week! The Dignity Act (HB1419), passed the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives unanimously. Now, the bill moves to
the State Senate. [ [link removed] ]Tell your State Senators to protect incarcerated
women and pass the Dignity Act!
Far too many pregnant women are subjected to harsh conditions while
incarcerated. These include placement in solitary confinement, being
subjected to the use of restraints during pregnancy, and limited access to
quality visits with their children.
Being incarcerated doesn’t mean you should lose your dignity. Yet that’s
what happens to women across the country who are restrained during labor
or kept from seeing their families. On Monday, Pennsylvania took an
important step to change that! The Dignity Act passed the Pennsylvania
House and has moved to the Senate.
Passing the Dignity Act in the Pennsylvania House didn’t happen overnight,
for over three years we have been working with our Empathy Leader, Tonie
Willis, and an incredible coalition of activists, organizations, state
lawmakers, and supporters like you. And now, The Dignity Act is just steps
away from becoming law!
[ [link removed] ]Tell Your State Senator To Pass The Dignity Act
This legislation will:
* Protect women from invasive strip searches
* Keep families together w/ more visits for children
* Restrict the use of restraints during and after pregnancy
* Ensure proper food and nutrition access
* Provide access to hygiene products
And more!
Help our prisons be more than dungeons. Take a stand against the needless
policies that strip the incarcerated of their dignity. [ [link removed] ]Join us in
standing up for women by calling on the Pennsylvania State Senate to pass
the Dignity Act today!
In solidarity,
