CharitySub members pledge $5 a month, and each month CharitySub picks a new cause and identifies three non-profits making a difference on that cause.  Each month, CharitySub members get to pick which of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charitysub.org\/prison-epidemic\">three organizations<\/a> receives their $5. Most recently, Charity Sub members have supported organizations addressing STEM education, wildlife welfare, beach conservation, drug free youth, and &#8212; this month&#8217;s topic &#8212; body image.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charitysub.org\/users\/sign_up\">join today<\/a> to support this month&#8217;s organizations and learn about other organizations doing great work in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Charity Sub members, for supporting our work. With your help, we won a big victory two weeks ago, convincing <a href=\"\/blog\/2014\/09\/09\/dallas-securus\/\">Dallas County Texas to reject a video visitation contract<\/a> that was going to replace the usual visiting hours for families with expensive video visitation. This is the first time the public was able to stop one of these anti-family contracts, so we expect it will have a national effect. Thank you for making this victory for families possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March, we were honored  to be one of the three charities chosen by CharitySub as one of three organizations addressing the prison epidemic.
