Tell Governor Whitmer to Release Vulnerable People from Prisons and Stop COVID-19

Take Action

Tell Gov. Whitmer to release people who are most vulnerable to COVID-19 from Michigan's prisons immediately.

People in prisons are highly vulnerable to outbreaks of contagious illnesses like COVID-19. They live in overcrowded close quarters with little control over their daily interactions with others, and are often in poor health or denied medical care.

We sent a letter to the Michigan Department of Corrections Director urging prison officials to protect the health of people in their custody, and their staff, and release people who are most vulnerable to the Coronavirus. Please help us send a message to Gov. Whitmer: Release vulnerable people from unsafe, overcrowded prisons in Michigan, and save lives now.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
