- 60,000. That's how many people are being held in immigration detention right now, more than ever before. This system is plagued with abuse and neglect.

- $25,000. That's our goal for this 5X match before Giving Tuesday ends at midnight tonight. If we can take full advantage of this match, it will help close the gap in funding to ensure we can keep fighting for criminal justice and immigration systems that are truly just.

Thank you for being in this fight, Vera Institute of Justice Gifts made by midnight on December 2 will be 5X matched up to $25,000. |
