[UCIMC-Tech] Fwd: ANCHORS! We need your LEADERSHIP TOMORROW, FRIDAY at 11am EST FOR THE FCC VOTE on Prison Phones!

[carol ammons]

Good morning All,

Some of you may recall that CUCPJ/IMC worked on a local jail phone contract
initiative back in 2004 that sought to stop the kick-backs being paid to
the county for an inmate to make contact with their loved ones when being
held in the county.  We were successful locally, however, I am happy to
share a remarkable National Campaign that aims at reducing phone rates
throughout the United States, being led by the Center for Media Justice and
our  National Affiliate, Media Action Grassroot Network (MagNet).  If you
are able to watch this historic moment, please follow the links included in
the message.  If you are willing to share the information through social
media, please help in that way.  Thank you for your continued support for
open access and justice.  In Solidarity, Carol A.

Subject: ANCHORS! We need your LEADERSHIP TOMORROW, FRIDAY at 11am EST FOR
THE FCC VOTE on Prison Phones!

Hi Anchors,

As you all know tomorrow, Friday August 9th at 11am EST is a historic FCC
vote on prison phones.  You can watch it live at www.fcc.gov/live

I know that many of you are participating already and others have less
capacity.

*As the leadership of this Network, I'm wondering if each anchor can do
these two things at minimum:*

1*) Share this photo *that is attached here from your organization's and/or
your personal Facebook at Twitter accounts.

*2) And you can use or modify these sample Facebook and Twitter posts:*

*Sample FB posts:*

Friends and family, I hope you'll tune in on Friday to a historic moment.
The FCC will finally vote on a proposal to lower the cost of phone calls
from all prisons, jails and detention facilities. Please support me by 1)
tuning in to watch and 2) by sharing this postcard on your Facebook. Thank
you!

On Friday the FCC is voting on proposal to lower interstate call rates for
more over 2.4 million prisoners, including 400k detained immigrants and
their families.  Watch this historic vote and join the conversation online.
Check out this postcard for details.
