“The core values of Reproductive Justice include the human right to parent with dignity and to live in communities that are free from state-sanctioned harm and family separation. Black people in Pennsyvlania are 9 times as likely as their white counterparts to be incarcerated, which comes with disproportionate harm to Black families and entire communities. As we fight collectively to dismantle the pervasive harm of mass-incarceration and the criminal justice system on multiple fronts, we call on you, our Pennsylvania legislators to take action to protect the Dignity of Incarcerated women and mothers. Re-introduction of the The Dignity Act package is one step in the right direction, and there is much more work to be done.”
