Take Action
The FCC just announced that it is delaying the implementation of new regulations on prison and jail communication services for two years. This move shows blatant disregard for the law, the will of Congress, and impacted families in favor of manipulative special interests. We need your help to tell the FCC to implement its rule as planned!
Today, millions of incarcerated people are forced to work for private corporations, state-owned corporations, and correctional agencies for little to no pay. Those who refuse to work are often beat, denied visits and calls, and put in solitary. Tell Congress to end the exception in the Thirteenth Amendment that allows slavery as punishment for crime by passing the #EndTheException Amendment. No slavery, no exceptions!
Denied standard worker protections, incarcerated people are the most vulnerable and exploited workers in the United States. Still, many corporations rely on prison labor in a variety of ways. We’re calling on all corporations to stop their use of prison labor, institute policies to prohibit prison labor in their supply chains, and endorse the Abolition Amendment. Tell your favorite brands to get on board!
Alabama is developing a new execution protocol to kill people on death row: nitrogen gas suffocation. But they can’t do it alone — corporations have stepped in to do what doctors have refused, supplying gas, masks, and more. The death penalty is unethical, profiting off of it is morally incomprehensible. Sign the petition to stop them and block the roll out of the nitrogen gas protocol.
Owner of the Detroit Pistons, Tom Gores, also owns one of the nation’s largest and most predatory prison telecom corporations: Securus. Despite being forced off the LACMA Board of Trustees, he continues to exploit families struggling to stay in touch with incarcerated loved ones by charging egregious call rates. Sign this petition to tell the NBA to force the sale of the Detroit Pistons unless Gores reforms and sells Securus — he can’t keep both!
