John,
This holiday season, you can make a difference. For families who are separated from their loved ones during this time of the year, you can bring them the gift of a phone call.
When telecom companies get in the way of Black families’ ability to connect, it’s not just cruel. It’s unacceptable.
Prisons and jails can charge incarcerated people and their families up to $1 a minute for phone calls. There’s no reason for this other than for prison telecom companies to line their shareholders’ pockets. As we ramp up our work to stop these predatory corporations from profiteering from Black pain, one thing is clear: We need your help to ensure that families stay connected in the new year. Will you pitch in $20 to help us take this campaign nationwide?
In 2022, thanks to Color Of Change members like you, we made real progress on winning prison phone justice. You signed petitions. You made calls. You sent faxes and tweets to your congressional representatives. And it has had an incredible impact.

Your efforts have helped to make it harder for prison telecom companies to charge ridiculous rates. Color Of Change members in New York and California have helped usher in bold legislation. Miami, FL and Dallas, TX are two cities that are also taking action to keep families connected. In Connecticut, your support has meant that phone calls to our friends and families who are incarcerated are now free.
Your contribution will help us sustain our ongoing efforts to pass prison phone justice legislation at the federal level. But we won't just wait for Congress to take action — we'll also be expanding our state-by-state advocacy campaigns to push lawmakers to make phone calls for incarcerated people and their families free.

Color Of Change is in the fight to ensure that our communities and families stay connected in 2023. But we can’t do it without support from members like you. John, chip in what you can to make sure that predatory phone companies no longer are allowed to profit from their decision to keep our families apart.
Thank you for joining this fight,
— The Criminal Justice team
