Pamela,
We only have one more day to prepare before 2026 begins. There is still time left to make a 5X matched gift to fuel our work, but not much.
As this year comes to an end, I have been thinking about all the challenges we've faced: how the Trump administration cut millions in funding for Vera's public safety programs, and how the Department of Justice—once a partner in our work—has been weaponized to pursue aggressive policing and mass imprisonment.
For all the heartbreak and anger I have felt this year, it is people like you who have kept me going. Your activism, generosity, and compassion are a source of strength.
Pamela: Next year will not be easier. But we will not abandon the people who need us.
Here's where we're investing our energy in the year ahead:
- We're doubling down on our commitment to fight for dignity and due process for immigrants facing deportation.
- We're advocating to defeat harmful, regressive legislation and protect justice reform at the state and local levels.
- We're supporting public safety initiatives that reduce communities' reliance on policing, keep people out of the system, and ensure equal justice.
Even now, there is so much we can do to defend and continue the progress we've made together. And there is still time for you to make a generous, 5X-matched gift to Vera before a new year begins.
Thank you for being with us,
Nick
