First, we receive your gift, and a group of generous Vera supporters matches it, increasing the impact of your gift threefold.
Next, we invest that gift right away in proven, evidence-based programs. Millions of people suffer right now in U.S. prisons, jails, and detention centers. We can't slow down, not even for a second.
Then, we get to work. We work with communities to develop alternatives to policing. We grow programs that safeguard dignity for people in jail and prison. We fight back against misinformation and advocate for good policy reforms.
Pamela, the path toward justice is uneven. That's why Vera is preparing now to defend our progress in the days ahead—to defeat new "tough-on-crime" legislation, to push back against mass deportation, and to keep families together and build safer communities for everyone.
That means we need people like you to help keep our work going. A better future without mass incarceration is still possible, but progress isn't promised. What happens next is up to us.
