      Did you send a text today? Maybe call someone by phone? Pretty easy to do... unless you're in prison. The FCC is moving to change that.

      Unless you have (or had) a loved one in prison, you likely don't know how ridiculously expensive it is to make a ten minute phone call.

      This is partly how penal system punishes guilt by association. Prison, and by extension all the services that come with it, punish families.

      Your brother stole a car; you did nothing wrong. You wanna talk to him on his birthday while he's in prison? That'll be $30. For one call.

      Poor poc who are already criminalized have really tough choices when a loved one's in prison: pay the electric bill or talk to dad on Xmas?

      The FCC is finally going to regulate prison phone call rates so that even poor people of color can talk to their family members again.

      Everyone will want to take credit for this when the FCC votes next week—but remember that groups like @mediaaction were there all along.

          Last month, @mediaaction was at the FCC. Even politicians cried when they heard an incarcerated father speak: https://soundcloud.com/mag-net/kevin-reese-testimony …

          Good work, @mediaaction and other people of color-led groups for recognizing prisoners' basic humanity. This kind of work changes lives.

          Pay attention: the FCC vote on #PrisonJustice is happening while Mignon Clyburn, a black woman, is on the commission. She's heard families.

          Looking at @mediaaction right now, which has made #PrisonJustice a priority—leading with race... and winning.

          Mignon Clyburn just thanked @mediaaction for bringing the issue of #PrisonJustice to the FCC. This is so amazing. https://www.fcc.gov/live

          Clyburn recognized Kevin Reece III, his dad's in prison and wants to be able to talk to him. She was moved to tears. https://www.fcc.gov/live

          Of course Ajit Pai is using his time to troll this historic vote. So ridiculous.

          Prisoners who maintain consistent contact with family are less likely to be re-imprisoned. So why keep phone rates high? Oh. #PrisonJustice

          "The ayes have it." That's how you get #PrisonJustice done. This is amazing!
