Pamela, justice can't wait. Justice can't wait for the millions living in filthy, broken-down prisons and jails. Justice can't wait for those who already have been, or soon will be, traumatized by their encounters with police. Justice can't wait for immigrants who lose everything because they're excluded from the right to legal representation.
As you read this, our criminal legal and immigration systems are tearing apart our communities. This must end—now.
That's why we're not waiting until Giving Tuesday to share this opportunity with you: Thanks to a generous match from a group of Vera supporters, all gifts made today will be TRIPLED to end the cycle of harm.

Pamela, history shows us that steps towards true justice have always been met with backlash and retrenchment. As opponents to reform push fear and false narratives, your support in our fight is critical. Together, we can defend and advance our progress to: - advocate for pretrial justice reform to reduce the number of people held in deadly jails;
- help communities end unjust traffic enforcement and policing that disproportionately harm Black people and other people of color;
- counter efforts to criminalize immigrants with practical policy alternatives that center fairness and human dignity;
and so much more. Vera has evidence-based solutions to replace incarceration with justice while keeping our communities safe. What's missing is the urgency and resources to make this happen in your community and all communities across the country—and that's where you come in.
I hope you won't pass up this opportunity to triple your impact on ending mass incarceration. Make a gift and it will be TRIPLED. Please, don't wait—give before this match expires. Give now →
