Friend–
I wanted to make sure you saw Mad’s email about the PREP Act – a meaningful piece of legislation from last Congress that she reintroduced in the House this week.
Mad knows how important it is that we provide incarcerated individuals with the tools they need to reenter society as seamlessly as possible, and that's exactly what this vital legislation does.
Check out the full email below, and be sure to add your name by the end of this week if you agree that Congress should pass the PREP Act. [[link removed]]

Subject: why we need to pass PREP, now
[[link removed]]
In 2019, my friend the late Congressman Elijah Cummings and I introduced the Promoting Reentry through Education in Prisons (PREP) Act.
This week, I’ll be reintroducing this vital piece of legislation in his honor.
This bill would provide incarcerated people with both the resources and support necessary to reintegrate into society upon release – which has been proven to reduce the chances of re-incarceration by up to 43%.
By passing the PREP Act, Congress would:
*
Create
new
education
programs
in
federal
prison
systems
across
the
U.S.
*
Provide
educational
support
and
resources
for
incarcerated
people
to
pursue
GEDs,
postsecondary
education,
workforce
readiness
programs,
and
more.
*
Provide
training
and
technical
assistance
to
state
and
local
institutions
across
the
country
that
run
similar
education
programs.
*
Notify
incarcerated
veterans
of
their
eligibility
for
new
educational
programs
at
both
state
and
federal
correctional
facilities.
Incarcerated people are more than their incarceration—and are too often left behind.
This legislation will expand access to important resources they need to ensure a smooth reentry into society. It is my privilege to reintroduce it in the House.
If you agree that those who have served their time ought to have some help in reacclimating to outside society, I hope you’ll join me in support of the PREP Act. You can instantly add your name here. [[link removed]]
Sincerely,
Mad
