BREAKING: DOJ ends our funding for public safety

Pamela, we're not backing down →

Pamela,   We just learned that the Trump administration has ended funding for Vera's public safety programs that serve communities across the country—programs that help make prisons safer, support trafficking survivors who are living with disabilities, and build community crisis response. This is a reckless attack on public safety and criminal justice reform. Pamela—the message is loud and clear: this administration is turning its back on safety, justice, and the most marginalized people in our society. At Vera, we know what it takes to build safe, healthy, thriving communities. No matter what, our work will continue.   Your support now is more critical than ever. Please, if you can, chip in today to help Vera continue our essential work. For over 60 years, our teams of researchers, advocates, and experts have worked in partnership with corrections departments, local governments, and community-based organizations to end mass incarceration and transform our justice systems. We're not backing down. Thank you for sharing our commitment to safety, accountability, and justice for all. In strength and solidarity,  Vera Institute of Justice © 2025 Vera Institute of Justice.
