#FamiliesBelongTogether
In, 2018 & 2019, 500,000 people across the country signed a petition and spoke out against private prison companies like CoreCivic profiting from family separation.
Morgan Simon and fellow activists from Candide Group, the company that Morgan is co-founder, joined the discussion to give voice to the voiceless.
Families Belong Together coalition members formed a Corporate Accountability Committee and invited Candide Group to join. Candide Group, an impact investment company, provided much needed knowledge of finance for the movement and helped to organize in the California Bay Area.
“Fundamental to Democracy is the right to have divergent opinions.”

THE SLAPP
Morgan used her resources as a Forbes senior contributor to magnify private prisons profiting from families being separated.
Major banks begin to respond to public pressure and make a commitment to stop financing private prisons profiting from immigrant detention.
In 2020 CoreCivic sued Candide Group and founding partner Morgan Simon personally for up to 60 million in damages. This resulting from the many articles Morgan wrote on Forbes.com proclaiming that they profited from the family separation crisis.
WE WON!
November 8th 2022, Federal Judge William Alsup dismissed the defamation claims filed by CoreCivic. The ruling stated that the statements made in Forbes.com were protected by the First Amendment. “Simon’s statements serve the interest of preventing the enactment of abusive immigration policies.”
