Mass incarceration tears families apart

Here's how you can help

Dear Pamela,   Children should be with their parents for the holidays. Yet this season, many parents are held behind bars—far from their homes and loved ones—simply because they cannot afford to pay for bail. Does that seem right to you, Pamela? You can do something right now to help end mass incarceration and keep more families together. Make a gift today to support Vera's fight for justice. Pamela, the United States separates millions of children from their parents through incarceration—causing harms that last a lifetime. Spending even one day behind bars can destabilize people's lives, especially for parents who are primary caregivers in their families. People could lose their jobs, housing, and even custody of their children. Families deserve to be together for the holidays and always. That's why Vera is working to protect and uplift incarcerated parents—and to change the system that takes them away from their children in the first place. Pamela, will you support this urgent work with a gift today? In solidarity,  Vera Institute of Justice © 2024 Vera Institute of Justice.
