Join our Monthly Action Call (link: http:\/\/myaccount.maestroconference.com\/conference\/register\/H3Z7XZA7XVLVB0 ) June 14th, 1pm ET, 10am PT Special Guest Rashage Green, Legislative Counsel to Rep. Bobby Scott and the lead House staff supporting the Youth PROMISE Act. We will hear updates about the bill, have Q&A time, and discuss our Summer of PROMISE action. Join us!<\/p><\/div>\n

Friends, this Summer is a very important one for the Youth PROMISE Act<\/b> (Prison Reduction through Opportunities, Mentoring, Intervention, Support and Education). Momentum has been building<\/b> in Congress, the Congressional Session ends in December, and we really need to get the bill passed before October — when Congress will be in election recess.<\/p>\n

Our goal over the Summer is to get thousands of phone calls to Senators and Members of the House of Representatives. We need YOU to help reach this goal! <\/b>We are asking you to commit to calling all three of your federally-elected Congressmembers, and to commit to enrolling at least three others to do the same. Friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, anyone you can recruit. Lets spread the good news about this bill and get it passed into law!<\/p>\n

We have a printable flyer<\/a> <\/strong>with a simple script you can give to friends. Add your Senators and Reps. names on the back. It shouldn’t take more than two minutes to make each call<\/b>. Most Congressional offices now have voicemail for after hours as well.<\/p>\n

You can also be creative: <\/b>table at Farmer’s markets or music festivals, set up a Facebook page and post pictures<\/b> of people calling their Congressmembers, bring the flyer to your church or synagogue — spread the empowerment and use your imagination!<\/p>\n
