One of my photographs as a PSA to promote the National Council For Incarcerated & Formerly Incarcerated Women & Girls' #FreeHer campaign.

The National Council was founded in 2010 by a group of women incarcerated in federal prison in Danbury, CT. Many of us are mothers, the organization works to end the criminal legal system's forced separation of women and girls from their communities and loved ones through hyper-local organizing, public awareness education, movement lawyering, and the national #FreeHer Campaign. The National Council also organizes against the incarceration of women globally through its International Network.

Our mission was and still is, to end the incarceration of women and girls.

NEW: We looked at data from all 50 states to understand why, at a time when the cost of a typical phone call is approaching $0, people in prisons & jails still face exorbitant prices to stay in touch with their children, parents & other loved ones. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/phones/state_of_phone_justice_2022.html #endmassincarceration #prisonphonejustice

Some have their OWN agendas/interests in mind, without giving a damn about #NotMeUs. Support down ballot candidates who fight for the same policies we do.
