    Private prisons are an abomination. Detention is a public function and should not be outsourced to private companies for profit. Worse, these companies then use those profits to lobby for laws that do not solve societal problems and that make no sense. Their successful ability to do so not only harms our society, but it further erodes our deomcracy. Enough is enough. When a company like CCA can so influence the purportedly progressive chair of the Democratic Party, we know we’re in big trouble.

    Debbie: Say No To CCA!

    Why is FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz siding with the Corrections Corporation of America and not her constituents in Southwest Ranches? 98% of her constituents DO NOT want a new for-profit immigrant detention center!

    IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE

    We call on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-20) to WITHDRAW her current endorsements for CCA’s project.

    The Obama Administration announced a change in the priorities for detentions and deportations, to focus on real national security concerns, not on separating parents from their children or deporting DREAMers who are only seeking a better future.

    It is time for ICE to stop the immigrant money making machine and tell CCA to GO AWAY from Southwest Ranches.

    THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED - WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!! But feel free to leave your comment!
