Take Action
The Issue
The U.S incarcerates nearly
2 million people, one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
70 million, about one-in-three adults have an arrest or conviction record.

three formerly incarcerated individuals who are community activists making change
in their city to improve conditions for others & break down stereotypes of justice impacted people.
• Protect the dignity of incarcerated women
• Change bail laws
• Restore voting rights to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people
• Support the children of incarcerated parents
• Reform probation and parole
