More than a thousand freezing in Brooklyn jail (Sign the petition)

For over a week more than 1600 incarcerated people are without heat and electricity at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

I'm Shahana Hanif, a MoveOn member in Brooklyn, New York, and I started a petition after learning that people at Metropolitan Detention Center have been without heat and electricity for days.¹ This is unacceptable.  

Sign my petition demanding Metropolitan Detention Center turn on the heat and electricity immediately.

For over a week more than 1600 incarcerated people have been without heat and electricity at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Turn on the heat and electricity immediately. 

People in prison also have basic human rights. No one should be forced to go without heat in this freezing weather! It's up to us to make sure Metropolitan Detention Center turns on the electricity and heat.

We can't be silent. Take action now.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks!

—Shahana Hanif
