<h3 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 500; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; line-height: 1.1;">Hi Supporter -</h3>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><img src="http://org2.salsalabs.com/o/6797/images/22397883641_c85dd8480c_z.jpg" width="300" height="354" align="right" vspace="8" hspace="8" alt="" />Wandjell Harvey Robinson is a young woman from my community here in central Illinois. Having recently made a bid for Miss Illinois, Wandjell is hoping to transfer from our community college to an HBCU (Historically Black College/University) and become a doctor.</span><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;">This woman can do anything she puts her mind to - including helping to rein in the same prison profiteers who kept her from communicating with her family as a kid. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;">When Wandjell was in third grade, both her parents were incarcerated. “The cost of phone calls to get the love and support I need were so high that it caused my relationship with her parents to slowly diminish,” she shared.</span><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><img src="http://org2.salsalabs.com/o/6797/images/22228919028_e529e78d13_m.jpg" width="240" height="153" vspace="8" hspace="8" align="left" alt="" />Ten years later she finally got a chance to do something about this problem - still faced by the 2.7 million children who have parents behind bars. I was with Wandjell in Washington DC recently as she spoke to members of the Federal Communications Commission. </span></p>
<p><a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=yI%2B4LKXDMOwiCKNq8%2BUKk4AmbSejC4rm"><b>Donate today and help family members like Wandjell tell their stories directly to decision makers.</b></a></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;">The trip was made possible by MAG-Net - the Media Action Grassroots Network - a network of over 150 social justice groups who understand that media policy change is necessary for social change. </span><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;">Local MAG-Net members have been working for prison phone justice for a decade - including our hometown of Champaign-Urbana where we fought and won a new contract for phone calls from our jail in 2008.</span><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><b><a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=6p5QLwkoh7CnNcYPXtYsP4AmbSejC4rm">Donate today.</a></b></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;">But it was not until we banded together through MAG-Net that we were able to move mountains. Through MAG-Net, family members of the incarcerated, who have had billions of dollars taken by this prison phone racket, were able to speak directly with decision makers, the press, and others affected.</span><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;">In October, the FCC listened and brought relief to these families, with a historic vote for prison phone justice. </span><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;">At the year comes to a close, please consider a donation to help MAG-Net continue to speak truth to power, telling stories and changing the policy that affects our lives.</span><span style="line-height: 28.4444px;"><br />
</span></p>
