Call-in Day to Councilmember Catania

We did it! Your voice helped convince Mayor Gray to allocate $193,000 in new funds for the DC Jail Library!
<br /> <br />
But we have one last step to take to make sure this really happens. Council Member (and mayoral candidate) David Catania is the chair of the Education Committee, and it's not clear if he'll leave funding for the library in the budget, or remove it.
<br /> <br />
Join us in telling Council Member Catania to preserve the $193,000 for the DC Jail Library. Call him with us today! His office's number is (202) 724-7772. Use the sample script below:
<br /> <br />
"I am a DC voter and I urge you to support the creation of a library at the D.C. Jail. Mayor Gray recently allocated $193,000 in the 2015 fiscal year's budget for this proposal, which would allow inmates at D.C.'s Central Detention Facility to access reading material and other D.C. Public Libraries resources and services.
<br /> <br />
Access to books and educational resources for incarcerated citizens benefits them, their communities and the city at large.
<br /> <br />
I hope I can count on your support for this low-cost, high-reward initiative."
