[MATCH UPGRADE] All gifts go 5X as far for the next 48 hours

We need you in our corner. Give today →

Pamela, You may have heard that the Trump administration has directly attacked Vera's work, impeded criminal justice reform, and stripped us of federal funding.  That's why we launched the Emergency Justice Fund—to keep supporting programs that make communities safer while we bring this fight to court. And right now, we're so close to hitting our goal. To help close the gap, a generous Vera donor has agreed to multiply the size of your gift by FIVE for the next 48 hours only. Please don't wait to make your emergency gift.   Pamela, there are countless ways the Trump administration has already harmed our communities and undermined public safety: The Department of Justice has been weaponized in service of Trump's agenda—doubling down on policing, incarceration, and mass deportation. Cuts to millions in federal funding for criminal justice reform means a loss to direct services and technical assistance that helps communities prevent and reduce crime. People are being torn from their families and communities. Vera's work of fighting for universal representation and reducing the number of people behind bars is important—now more than ever. Your gift today, matched $4-to-$1, will send a powerful message that you're with us in the fight for human dignity, basic fairness, and equal justice. Together, we can reject the Trump administration's fear-mongering narrative and implement solutions that actually reduce crime.  Thank you,  Gretchen  —  Gretchen H.
