I want you to know that your support of this petition is making an impact throughout California! A July 13 report on for-profit prison contributions to LGBT Caucus members in the California Legislature confirmed this petition influenced Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins: "Doug Case, political affairs director for [Toni] Atkins, said the senator made the most recent donations after a Change.org petition took San Diego Democrats to task for taking money from CoreCivic and protests sprung up in response to the Trump administration's practice of separating children from their parents at the border last month. "That's when the issue first came to our attention," he said."

Please continue to help in the following ways: 1) Keep SHARING this petition with friends throughout California. Ask them to sign and share with others who want to take private prison money out of California politics. 2) Ask your State Legislators to REFUSE prison corporation money and DONATE all funds they have already received to organizations helping immigrant families reunite with their children. Please keep sharing- help us reach 500 supporters this weekend. Thank you!
