Pittsburgh Women for Democracy is proud that our two Pittsburgh-area Representatives answered our call to visit the Moshannon Valley Detention Center. Congressional oversight of these facilities is one of the many duties of our federal elected officials.

Help us shut down Moshannon Detention by calling on the Clearfield County Commissioners--Dave Glass, Tim Winters and John Sobel--to ask them to vote NO on renewing the county's contract with ICE and The GEO Group, the private, for-profit prison company that owns and operates the facility.
