Here's just one example of the kind of work your gift can help support: In Los Angeles, Vera is working with community-based service providers, advocates, and government partners to implement a "care first, jails last" framework for safety that is grounded in support instead of incarceration. People with unmet mental health needs and people experiencing poverty disproportionately bear the weight of a lack of support services in Los Angeles County. And with at least 57 deaths in county jails since last year—disproportionately Black and Latinx men—these solutions are urgently needed. We're supporting other initiatives like this around the country, which is why we're asking for your help. Make your tax-deductible, TRIPLE MATCHED gift before midnight TONIGHT. With your support, we can end mass incarceration and transform the system together → |
Thank you for being in this fight, Vera Institute of Justice Gifts made before 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, June 28, will be matched until our $15,000 goal is met. |
