Vera Midnight Deadline: Every gift matched 5X

Please rush your emergency gift today

This is urgent, Pamela: To keep up our momentum in the fight against mass incarceration, your gift to Vera before midnight will be 5X matched. Yes, it's unusual for us to do this. But please know there is a real group of donors to Vera who really will multiply your gift by five if you make it before midnight. This is an important and rare opportunity for us to raise the funds we need—and for you to make a big impact.  Here's what we have on record for you: Why a 5X match? Because Vera donors care about an end to mass incarceration. They care about protecting our rights. They care about transforming the criminal legal and immigration systems by: Ending forced prison labor—as in Nevada, where voters passed a measure last month to remove slavery and involuntary servitude as a criminal punishment in their state constitution.  Giving those behind bars the path to an education—as we helped achieve last year, when access to Pell Grants for incarcerated students was officially restored. Getting rid of money bail—we've seen success across states, including in New York, where reforms that limited the use of money bail led to a 30 percent drop in the statewide jail population. And with this 5X match, your gift will make five times the difference in the fight—helping Vera launch, scale, and support projects that will disrupt these racist, unjust systems. But this match lasts only through midnight. If you want to do one thing before the ball drops to help create a better world in 2025, this is it, so please act now. Thank you so much for your support, Vera Institute of Justice Gifts made before 11:59 p.m. ET on December 31 will be matched 5X up to $100,000. © 2024 Vera Institute of Justice.
