- If you do not feel comfortable adding your own phone number, you can add AFJ's main line number: (347) 973-0580.
Under Topic - choose “criminal justice” - For the Subject - Type in “New DOCCS package policy unduly burdens poor people!”
- For the Message - Type in (copy & paste): Dear Governor Hochul: I urge you to rescind the DOCCS package policy of “vendor-only packages,” which unduly burdens poor people and denies incarcerated people access to fresh foods, fruits, and vegetables. I’ll be voting in the primaries and November!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Our families cannot continue to be punished with this new policy! Let's continue to let the Governor know that she needs to rescind it NOW!
Note: the package policy postcard campaign is still alive and active, and people can still participate. |
