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.

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!
