Instead, you earn $2.25 in Civic Shout ad credits for every signature you drive—good for 3 clicks on nationally-targeted cost-per-click ads that use the “Sign Petition” button label. Learn more
Access to information is a fundamental right, yet prison libraries across the country remain underfunded, understaffed, and restricted by policies that limit access to books and educational resources. This petition calls on federal, state, and local policymakers to invest in prison libraries by increasing funding, restoring professional librarian positions, and ensuring that all incarcerated individuals have meaningful access to diverse reading and learning materials. By signing, you are urging decision-makers to recognize prison libraries as essential resources that promote education, rehabilitation, equity, and safer communities.
