Duckworth, FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel, Lieutenant Governor Stratton: We Must Help Keep Incarcerated Americans Connected with Their Families

Today at the Women’s Justice Institute in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) hosted a community roundtable and listening session with Illinois women directly impacted by our nation’s criminal justice system and discussed how her bipartisan Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act helps working families keep in touch with incarcerated loved ones, secure phone justice and help reduce recidivism. Duckworth was joined by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, who is prioritizing implementation of Senator Duckworth’s bipartisan law, and Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, a champion of restorative justice across the state.
