Dear Pamela,
Did you know that the Vera Institute of Justice was founded to advocate for alternatives to money bail in New York City?
More than 60 years later, we're doubling down on solutions that work, grounded in research and led by people who live in the communities we serve.
Vera's Greater Justice New York (GJNY) program is working to build a justice system where public safety means fairness, racial equity, and healthy communities—and where jail and prison are truly the last options. The generosity of people like you makes this work possible. |
We focus our efforts on counties with the highest incarceration rates, plus those already making real strides toward reform. Together with local partners, we're shaping policies and driving conversations about decarceration and what real public safety looks like. Your support helps us - keep pushing for fair bail and pretrial reforms;
- reduce unnecessary incarceration; and
- invest in community programs that help people thrive outside of jail.

We leverage our relationships with local government and community to dismantle harmful, punitive systems and instead build institutions that deliver safety and justice. |
