Latino group demands Hillary Clinton and DNC cut ties with private prison industry
http://presente.org/press/releases/2015/8/17/latino-group-demands-hillary-cut-ties-private-pris
We demand Hillary Clinton return and reject any and all donations and financial support from the private prison industry. Clinton cant claim to be working to end mass incarceration while accepting donations from the very people who are bankrolled by it. Hillary Clinton claims to be the ideal candidate to represent Latinos, but that cant be trusted if she is accepting money from the very people who have made billions of dollars destroying the lives of millions of immigrants and Latinos. For far too long, black and brown people have been arrested and imprisoned for minor crimes they commit at rates far lower than white people all the while wasting billions of taxpayer dollars and millions of lives.
If Clinton wants our votes, she must return, and stop accepting, dirty money from private prisons.
