Event Description

Color Of Change 

So we decided to launch our fight.

Thousands of Color Of Change members joined us in pushing to make all communication free of charge for incarcerated people & their families during this crisis & forever. As of last week, people incarcerated at federal prisons have finally been granted free phone calls during the pandemic, up to 500 minutes a month. Before we launched our campaign & more than 18,000 people signed our petition, many incarcerated folks were only given two fifteen-minute free calls per week, some received even less.

This is what’s possible when we unabashedly fight for those most impacted, in the face of elected leaders who show indifference for incarcerated people. We win & keep families connected!

But, we know we have much more to do to ensure ALL incarcerated people receive the humane response needed to ensure their wellbeing. Here is what we need you to do to continue fighting w/ us:

  1. Share the petition w/ your friends & family demanding elected leaders grant ALL incarcerated people w/ free calls. This includes state prisons, county jails & all detention centers.

  2. Start or join a local campaign & demand your elected leaders implement a humane plan for incarcerated people. We need mass releases & an end to the constant churn of people in & out of facilities across the country.
